I’ve been diagnosed with pre diabetes with a reading of 43.I’m considering doing a fast but a bit concerned because I do a physical job and how this could affect me while I’m working.

I'm no doc, so don't take my advice, but from my own testimony in the past, once I got past the mental battle and the odd shakes I, actually, felt stronger and I was doing my 2-3 hour other day gym workouts with no issues.

Plenty of hydration with water and black coffee worked wonders to fill the pangs.

Can’t you just change diet to high fat and protein?

I’ve had a naughty Christmas. My feet are tingling like mad. I know I’ve been shit. Back to no carbs and high fat protein new year.

Yea I’m going to make a concerted effort when I get back to work on Tuesday. But I just watched that video Bigga put up and the benefits from fasting definitely seem worth a try

My reading was +98 in March!! You wouldn't know it to look at me and you'd think I consumed nowt but sugar in my diet!

I don't!

Some of this is genetic make up for me and this rest is down to producing little to no natural insulin. The last time I did the fast(pre marriage break up) I re-balanced my whole body, so now I'm in a good place mentally to go at it again for a longer period than having someone down my ear and buying takeaway cos she couldn't be arsed cooking!

All on me now.

All on me too. Docs said not possible to tell hiw long I’d had it. Lately I’m experiencing neurothapy. My feet are on fire, making sleep hard. Went to foot doctor and blood supply is fine. So fuck knows. It’s something I want to fix, that’s for sure.

Intermittent fasting has been mentioned on the board before, but I cannot recall the amount of detail and benefits Dr Jamnadas gives.

Quite, honestly, it's worth sitting through the 80 min lecture.

Just as an aside in the comments section, a poster mentions that this cardiology doc has kept his father alive for 15 years as well as the reversal of a lot of states in the body the braver you are to fast longer.

I hope to work up to those experimental levels, myself!

I will add this to my watch later list for sure. Longer you fast the better it is for you , you can enter a stage called autophagy, where your body recycles old/bad cells. My longest fast is 37 hours, I use a fasting app called ZERO and I'm a member on reddits sub Fasting which in very informative, there is folk who do it for weight loss , for health, to feel better, for longevity.To think some folk fast for 7 days and find it easy, there was a Scottish chap(worth a Google search) who fasted for over a year.
My mother in law thinks fasting is dangerous and you should have 8 small meals a day, I explained to her fasting is natural humans have been doing it for millenia, we didn't have fridges back in the day or Asda's

I would never advise anyone to do anything without research. I had fatty liver and was over weight , low carb and fasting reversed it. I have more energy when fasting. I tend to do intermittent fasting mon-fri eat between 6-8pm, then only water and black coffee , some sweetners are okay. Within a few days it is easy, I go low carb high fat protein more satiety feel full. Weekend I normally just eat when I feel like it, but cause I eat high fat I'm not really hungry any more. I suggest joining fasting and low carb sub reddits on reddit.

Brother, the doc echoes your sentiments, exactly!

I'm certainly doing this day of the New Year.

Right now, I have a lot of junk to get rid of!

Surely denying your body of food isn’t a good thing?

Nobody is denying their body of food in the long run. It's a temporary state that's been done for a thousand years through necessity and or spiritually. And, even before then, a forced way of living.

It's only since medieval (rich people only) times has meals throughout the day has happened and since processing foods has become stable have we indulged ourselves with food at any point of the day we deem fit.

This is just about regaining control of what we put in our mouths and although the good doc didn't wander too far into this field, it's about getting rid of the poison toxics processed food give us in our bodies.

It's bigger than the 'denial' argument.
 
Can thoroughly recommend a book called “Glucose Revolution”. The core messages are about changing the order you eat your meals and understanding what foods are doing to your body. For example a ham and salad sandwich will create far more of a glucose spike than if you take the salad out and eat that first, then the ham, then the bread. Same food but completely different outcomes.
 
For any one who has diabetes. Or you find, in my case blisters on your todger or the smell of yeast from your groin even behind your ears and near your nose and top lip. Tell your doctor and do something to reduce your carb and sugar intake. The yeast causes fugus which smells like fuck. Best to shower ever morning and before bed but make sure you dry yourself of well. These funguses love yeast and warm damp places.

STOP FUCKING ABOUT NOW and go on a diet stop eating carbs as much as you can. I’ve been kidding myself that I was being good as much as I could

I have just been told I have neuropathy. I have pains in my feet and hands which have recently just started. I also get cramps in my hands feet and calf.

Please take my advice. Diabetes cause all kinds of shit

Look at replacing starchy carbs with fibrous/veg types and include more healthy fats alongside lean,none processed,meats and other protein sources.

Using more calories in exercise than you are intaking is a massive part of controlling your health, less calories in than you burn is a great starting point.

The modern way is going on a faddy diet which you can't/wont stick to instead of looking at changing your entire eating regime and eating a balanced diet that your body needs.
