I have type 2 diabetes due to obesity

Have you talked to your doctor about counting carbs.? Starting an exercise routine?

[Hidden in reply to Activity2004]

My doctor is not in favor of me doing this fasting, very few doctors are. She thinks that I should be having at least 100 grms of carbs, that is way too much, when I told her about intermitting fasting she said it will bring down my metabolism. I am looking for a doctor who will work with me, but very few doctors seem to know much about diabetes and nutrition. I do walk every day.

If I were you Natalia, cut down on carbs. Carbs do the damage in T2. Going for walks is good & don't sit still too long. Good luck.

Probably because I have been checking the glucose very often and by the end of the day it has been around 88, with a spike here and there without eating foods, so probably that is what it is. I always wake up with a glucose from 139 to 160.

Do you use an insulin pump or needles with a pre-filled insulin pen? Did your doctor say to count carbs.?
