I've been so long in writing anything here because I've not been fasting at all. In fact, it's been "eat eat eat" for my latest motto.
In August, when my doctor told me that I am a diabetic, I didn't take him seriously enough. I thought, "I feel fine, it can wait". But with my two non-impressive monthly weigh-ins and my constant tired feeling, I decided it was time to get the test strips for the blood sugar monitor I already had. So, yesterday morning when I tested my blood sugar, which should be in the 80-100 range, especially in the morning, it was 210! In his office back in August, it was tested at 173, fasting, and he was worried about that!
Okay, getting serious now. Yesterday, after that first test, I thought I had eaten sensibly. I took the supplement to lower blood sugar (and it did), but I ate three sandwiches along with my apples and celery. During the night, I had trouble sleeping - I got up and tested. It was 303. That really scared me. This morning it was the same as yesterday morning.
Time to REALLY get serious. Today, all raw. I watched this film on youtube . It's about a 30 day raw vegan challenge six people try to reduce insulin or even cure their diabetes. It's very good.
So, now I am also trying that. I'll try to report from time to time how I'm doing. So, really, this IS a daily fast. I will be fasting by doing away with cooked foods. It's not easy, but it will be worth it. But, does any good result in life have an easy road leading to it? No, not one.
