Answer

In Doctor Filonov’s book on dry fasting he says Type I diabetes is an absolute contraindication, a definite no as it could cause you more harm.

I think this is one where you definitely need to discuss this with your doctor, even if you’re just doing short water fasts and ask them for advice on how to adjust your meds.

After a few days of dry fasting my blood sugar can drop very low, which may be extremely dangerous for people taking insulin.
