Diabetes

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.

Mate of mine got his score down by just cutting out all shit and bad carbs. Basically just went chicken/fish and salad/Veg.

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
 
That’s what I did. Reading of 67 feb, come September it was 33. Fuck knows what it is now.

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.
