I don't have diabetes, and my blood sugar was very steady at 95, unless I skipped a meal, in which case it went UP to 120 (and I got super hungry and grouchy: the so-called "hypoglycemia" except obviously there was no "hypo"!). I kind of think it's this "jump" to high glucose that made people think up the 5-meal-a-day thing for diabetics?
After starting Fast-5, it went up during fasting periods for some weeks ... then it dropped, and now it's a steady 83. That mirrors some other people's experiences that people have shared. It is possible that during the "adjustment period" glucose control might be worse, but in the long run, Fast-5 seems to help most people with glucose control.
Anyway, I don't get the "hypoglycemic" attacks now either. Everything just kind of evened out.

Denise, Fast5 runs counter to the common-sense advice often given to diabetics: eat frequent, small meals to avoid overtaxing the glucose metabolism. So, I don't understand why my glucose control is better when following Fast5. But it is.My glucose control deteriorated several months ago and, in trying various ways of regaining control, I stumbled into an eating pattern I later discovered was essentially Fast5. Even very limited consumption of carbohydrates, which had worked for me in the past, did not accomplish what Fast5 has accomplished. Even though I have frank diabetes, my quarterly test results were below those associated with a "high risk" of diabetes. I won't argue with real results.Of course, this is merely my personal experience of a few months duration. As with everything pertaining to diabetes, your mileage may vary.Cheers,O
