Hi everyone,
I am happy I lost 2 pounds.I want to do a fasting protocol alternating 16 and 24 hours to get my blood sugar down. Fasting is amazing at reducing your blood sugar - especially your morning reading.
I belong to the facebook group called The Obesity Code Network. It consists of people who fast and have read The Obesity Code by Dr. Jason Fung. It's a very inspirational group b/c many people share their successes with fasting and eating mostly a ketogenic diet. I mostly eat like this b/c of my diabetes and insulin resistance. I am so sensitive to carbs right now, just eating a little bit really makes my blood sugar spike.
Had a sleep study test for Sleep Apnea the other night. I guess I have severe sleep apnea which really stinks. I'm sure my weight is not helping. Another good reason to get this weight off. If you suspect you have sleep apnea it's a good idea not to put off the sleep study test. I found out I quit breathing 109 times an hour. That's unreal. This is why I am sleepy in the day and my oxygen levels at night are too low. So if you have some of the symptoms you may want to get checked out!

When I weighed over 300 pounds, I would SNORE very loudly and wake myself up several times a night. I quit that when I got down to about 250. Guess my neck fat was somehow affecting my breathing. Are you going to go on a CPAP machine. My sister had a love/hate relationship with hers. It was very annoying to wear, but she really felt better the next day after getting better oxygen while she slept.

Were you able to do the sleep study test at home? A few years ago a doctor wanted me to do the sleep study, but I had to go to the hospital to do it. I told him I knew I wouldn't sleep at all if I wasn't at home.

Hi I did the sleep study test at a sleep clinic. I had a feeling it was pretty bad so I wanted to have all the wires connected up. Before the night started they fit me with a mask and hooked me up and then after I was asleep for 2 hours they put me on CPAP. Then they switched me to BIPAP bc CPAP wasn't resolving my breathing problem.
