What's all this talk about Intermittent Fasting ?

Speaking as a nearly 50 years diabetic, regarding Intermittent Fasting (IF) be very careful if you are taking insulin. The balance between insulin, eating and the resulting blood sugar is a slippery slope at best. Mismanagement of anything can result in dangerous high or worse yet low blood sugar.

I agree completely. Soon after starting intermittent fasting, my glucose number started to drop and I was soon experiencing Lows I had never seen before. Since it was my personal endocrinologist who had first recommended I try fasting, she was quick to stop my use of Januvia. I still take one dose( by mouth) 5mg Glipizide and have good. stole results. That same doctor actually showed tears after I reported how well IF was working for me. I guess her "wins" with diabetic patients are few and far between these days.

IF is a BIG chance in one's diet. Just do the math on intake. To think that one can adopt IF as a life's habit, and have everything stay exactly the same can be risky, indeed. I believe our Docs have to be one phone call away as we make these important changes. After a while maybe our Docs will relax too.
Type 2 diabetes can definitely be improved with this simple, natural method IMHO.

Take care.
