Hi – I’m giving 5:2 another go and today is my first day.

I first tried the plan at the beginning of the year but as I didn’t lose I became disenchanted with it. I’m a type 1 diabetic on an insulin pump and whilst on a fast day I just adjust my insulin accordingly and surprisingly, my blood sugars were good. However, I think that I was ‘feasting’ too much on the non-fast days and eating too many carbs where normally I limit my carb intake so I don’t have to give huge doses of insulin which in turn makes me fat
