Pamojja;
Seeing the readings and your calculations on A1c and the difference between a lab test on A1c a thought came to mind!
Did you calibrate your test strips to your meter??

Another question is during your fasting are you sure you were consuming a sufficient amount of water to keep you hydrated??

Calibrated it and it gave the same readings as the one at my GPs office (+/-5 mg/dl). What I'm not sure is how accurate is my calculation of 'mean' glucose, since I don't have a continuous meter and therefore always took the mean between the lowest (fasted) and highest postprandial (after my daily 2 meals) for about a month. Without really knowing how low it would go during sleep - I do have some dawn-phenomena.

The second question is a bid more difficult to answer, since that fast is already 8 years ago and I don't remember that clearly. I assume I drunk enough since I've been aware of the importance of lots of water during a water fast. And remember not having had constipation at all.

Day three of fasting. I find my sugar readings somewhat remarkable (steady around 140 mg/dl) over the 3 day period, using the Libre. The line is flat. From the discussion above , I assume the same liver mechanism that keeps sugar elevated during sleep is in play. However, I stopped taking any insulin, fearing that might make glucose levels go too low.

At this point, there is no issue with glucose levels going too low, per johnwen's concern.

So far, so good. w/10,000 mg of B5 (2,500mg 4 X daily). No hunger. Minor weakness. I changed the vitamin C to all sodium ascorbate. Still having a cup of coffee in the a.m. and all my supplements.

I have cut 5 mg from my daily cortisol, so far without any adverse effect, and I am hoping to cut more.

It makes a great deal of sense that our bodies, after evolving for billions of years, would find famine more common than a refrigerator full of food.

Well done. Am surprised you had no hunger, usually that stops only after day 3. Though it probably doesn't concern you at all, since you keep taking supplements, here a concise summary of refeeding syndrome: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2440847/

pamojja, thank you for the links. you are probably right for not taking statins and your view about also not taking PCKS9 inhibitors.


Found a nice link about FH:

http://www.zoeharcombe.com/2016/11/fami ... olemia-fh/

and also http://www.zoeharcombe.com/2013/10/how- ... -at-a-time

I have to get more cholesterol instead of trying to lowering it if I really have a genetic defect.

I am currently also reading https://drmalcolmkendrick.org/2016/01/1 ... t-disease/ and following parts which is also very informative. He also mentions the PKCS9 inhibitors and why it is a bad idea.

Hopefully tomorrow I will have my Lp(a) score.

Glad it helped you to search in the right directions.
