Diagnosed type 2 diabetic a few years back and had been controlling blood glucose quite well but lost the plot during pandemic and blood glucose very high. Hba1c of 102. Doc added gliclazide to my daily meds.

Re-connected with an old school friend who is a recently retired gp who ran a diabetes clinic. He advised me to get off gliclazide and read ‘The Diabetes Code’ by Jason Fung.

Now losing weight and controlling blood glucose by low carb high fat diet and intermittent fasting.

Hello everyone
Hi everyone.

My weight has been up and down over the years, mainly up. I’ve had a lot of success with low car, high fat but never tried fasting before.

After avoiding the doctor for another two years, I returned to find that my weight had dropped 15kg (from 205kg) despite a huge rise in blood sugar. (Hba1c of 102).

The doc added gliclazide to my metformin and other meds and I went back on low carb high fat. The blood glucose was soon well controlled, between 5.0 and 7 (with an occasional 8.5) mmol/l.

I then reconnected with an old school friend who is a retired gp who ran a diabetes clinic. He advised me to read ‘The Diabetes Code’ by Jason Fung and get myself off the gliclazide.

After adding intermittent fasting (one day on, one day off with regular breaks of several days from fasting, I was off gliclazide, losing weight again (the best I could do on gliclazide was maintain) and controlling my bg.

This last week, my bg is higher. I hit 11.0 the day before yesterday. I am now on the second day of a fast, water and jasmine tea only. The bg started at 7.4 but is rising and is presently at 8.4. I’m really puzzled. Where is this coming from? I’m going to fast again tomorrow and see if I can get closer to 5.0. I’d really appreciate any insights into what’s going on.
