That's true, no Creon with no food 🙂I'm pretty sure having tea at breakfast time will not impact the "extended fasting" experiment, but if you are not going to be eating, I don't think you will need creon... hopefully someone will correct me if I am wrong on that.... was just thinking if you were having cream in coffee, that might need some.
Do you keep a food diary along with your readings? That can be really helpful, particularly when you are experimenting to see what works or doesn't. With diabetes, a one off result is rarely worth giving much credibility to as there are so many factors which affect BG levels other than food, so you are usually looking more for trends than individual test results. For instance, your walking tomorrow will almost certainly impact your readings tomorrow morning as your muscles can take up to 24 hours to claw back their reserves from your blood stream. So if you fast Monday morning and still drop low it is just as likely to be the after effects of your walk tomorrow as a reflection that the fasting test failed. I find exercise has a very significant but delayed effect on my levels.
I do keep a food diary, have for three years since the pancreatitis started its appearance. So I have that habit in check! You make a good point about the exercise. The hike is not something I do everyday, so that will effect the experiment. I will keep that in mind, if I find good results with the experiment, I will run it for a longer period of time and see what comes of it. I did research the beta cell when you mentioned it and it appears that the islets of Langerhans reside primarily where I had my surgery, so the beta cells are def reduced, but as to them "malfunctioning" the first information that comes up is how we can sure diabetes by taking Vitamin D. Which I might add that I take Vit D, hasn't cured me yet lolPj
OH then I got that covered. Once a week for me. Aside from short walks. 🙂The effect of exercise lasts approx 48 hours. My clinic used to say (jokingly I stress!) that they advised Type 1s to only exercise every other day.
