I am also not officially a diabetic, but for the past two years have had fasting sugars over 100 most of the time and when doing my own glucose challenge with high carb meals had very high numbers.
I discovered this after six months on FF during which I easily lost 15 pounds. I was also low carb during this time.
So for two years I have been tryng various dietary methods to get my blood sugar down. Going on and off FF with all of them.
Have finally seen some progress and for the last two months have pretty much had blood sugars in the 90's. I have been eating three meals, still quite low carb but also slightly decreased my protein and upped my already high fat intake even higher. (Some supplement may also be part of the reason)
But I also gained 7 pounds. Now I am cautiously trying FF again while still eating the same ratios --- approximately. I am not weighing, measuring or checking with fit day.
It has been 5 days. I eat two meals a6 -7 hour window. So far BG is still in 90's. By yesterday my appetite for second meal was very much reduced. Weight so far is the same.

I do not have an 'official' diabetes diagnosis, but my blood sugars are
running higher than 'normal' so I am monitoring my food intake in hopes to
bring them back down.
When I first started monitoring BS (blood sugars) in September, they were in
the 120s range and are now down to upper 90s and low 100s.
I know there are several diabetics here and at least one has said that their
BS numbers were getting better following Fast5.
I'm not currently following Fast5, but reading the good reports here (thank
you all for sharing!), I'd so love to have that carefree way of eating once
again!
What I like about the high fat WOE is that I'm not hungry and I don't have
nasty cravings.
Along with changing my WOE to high fat, I got rid of sugar, so it could be a
double bonus on cutting carbs: got rid of the sugar addiction and the
cravings.
My main concern of following Fast5 and 'eat whatever you want' is that I'd
go back to eating higher carbs and have the cravings again (I'd monitor
blood sugars to make sure they didn't elevate).
Anyway, would love to hear your blood sugar success stories with Fast5.
