Hey, yeah, how did it go?! Sweettooth, did the “prep” help..
Here i was mostly okay, for some reason i didn’t have to reduce my basal at all! Whilst last time i had to most of the time.. But than after the fast was over i went shooting ALL the way up..
Metooo – what happens is that normally the body is constantly breaking down the sugar for energy and that is why we need a basal. Then when we fast the body is, like – hold it! i can’t break down the sugar, i need to hold on to it! And so as the fast continues and the body is still getting no food it stops breaking down the sugar, and consequently will need less and less basal..
You only take .80?? i’m on so much more insulin…;(
