So I’m over a week into my experiment. My morning blood glucose readings continue to be in a much better range: 6.4 mmol/L, 6.2, 6.6, 7.1. Moreover, I’ve been testing my blood in the afternoon and readings have been below 6.0 mmol/L.
My diet is virtually no carb save for the small amount from cream in my coffee and a little bit of cheese here and there.

My wellbeing, if anything, has been better across the last four days. Those who have ever fasted may know that a mild sense of euphoria can manifest itself. Well, I’ve been experiencing euphoric moments, off and on, for days. I’m guessing that’s a combined effect from the intermittent fasting and lower blood glucose.
My energy levels continue to be excellent.
I slept very well last night and the night before…eventually. I woke up though with an upset stomach that did not go away for an hour or so. Could it have been a bit too much grass fed roast beef? Maybe. It may have been too many supplements or even the fact that my stomach has probably shrunk a bit due to the small eating window. I cut back on the supplements last night. I’ll reintroduce the two I cut out (cinnamon and gymnema sylvestre) and see what happens.
Conclusions
As I said to my better half yesterday, I think this is my new way of living. It is sustainable. I don’t mind eating my first meal at 1:00pm or 2:00pm. I believe with a couple of one-day fasts over the next couple of weeks, I’ll be able to get my HbA1c into the non-diabetic range. Watch this space.
