| i've just read this thread in amazement. to hear that someone fasted for 12 hours without it being of any benefit whatsoever to their diabetes treatment; IMO total waste of time. fasting for 12 hours is a fantastic thing to do if you have a good idea of your overall basal requirement, the movements can show you times where if you are a pumper, to set your basals higher or lower, or if an MDI-er when you might need to tweak your carb ratios/have small snacks to overcome the inconsistencies of your underlying basal need. fasting for spurious reasons under unsafe conditions and letting your blood sugar run at a high level (i echo others, a blood sugar of 153 is NOT normal its a 2 hour post prandial for a high carb meal!!!) isnt what i would call a scientifically sound or worthwhile pursuit.
