Jimmy's other doctor is urging him to at least get some protein. I think the Fung protocol is proving really bad for Jimmy.

Ramadan . Fasting benefits.
I have been following a lchf diet for 3 years and also was intermittent fasting twice a week for 18 months. I was frustrated that my efforts were not successful and I emailed Dr Fung. He suggested I did not have the right treatment plan. I then went for a fasting insulin test in Spain (it’s not done in uk). This showed I produced next to zero of my own insulin. I requested to come off the tablets they were giving me and start insulin. The first was a mixed insulin and I was told to have some carbohydrate with every meal. This was distressing and confusing. I requested to change to basal/bolus and now can eat lchf again. I inject the basal insulin at night but because of my diet, rarely inject with meals (only when I’m out and have no choice). I have been watching the docu-series ‘the real skinny on fat’ and fasting is featured heavily. I would like to go back to at least one day of intermittent fasting and want to know if this is possible now I’m on basal insulin. I look forward to hearing from you as I won’t get the information from my doctor or diabetic nurse. Many thanks, Alison
