So I did IF back in 2018 and it work amazing for when from 280 to 200 in 2-3 months and working out, but i wasn’t diabetic at the time and I want to get back on it, but now that I’m diabetic I don’t know how to go about it, is there any tips, anyone in here currently doing the IF and is a diabetic? Please and thank you for your help
T1 here. You won’t be able to do if right away. You need to get your bolus and basal rates dialed in.
I took the first month to dial those in to prevent lows and once I got them dialed in, I was good to go.
I’d only do if if you’re using fast acting insulin and not r and n. The time r and n is in your system doesn’t really allow if to happen.
I’m not a Dr, but this is what I did starting if as a diabetic
It’s great to hear that you had success with IF in the past! However, it’s important to keep in mind that everyone’s body is different and what worked for you in the past may not be the best option for you now that you have diabetes.
It’s also worth noting that there are different types of intermittent fasting, such as time-restricted feeding, and alternate day fasting, which may have different effects on blood sugar levels.
Lastly, It would be helpful if you can hear from others who have successfully implemented IF while managing diabetes and hear about their experiences and tips. You can look for online communities and support groups for diabetics who also practice IF, and see what works for them.
I thought Type 1 was something you are basically born with and if your diabetes comes on some point later in life then it’s Type 2? So I don’t get how you can be Type 1 if you didn’t have diabetes back in 2018? Someone please explain to me what I have got wrong.
