Fasting Helps Hypoglycemia and Diabetes
January 6, 2008 | | 3,744 Views
Hypoglycemics and diabetics can juice fast using slices of bananas and avocados to balance the blood sugar level. Spirulina is also exceedingly beneficial for balancing blood sugar levels.
The trick to balancing blood sugar levels is drink smaller amounts of juice timed 20 to 30 minutes apart. Fruit juices are better due to the fact that they have fructose a much slower release sugar than the glucose in carrots. But if you drink the juice slowly, your blood sugar levels can be maintained.

- Tom Coghill: Hi no1doesitbetterr You best way to start as you have stated is a juice fast with an extractor. Water fasting may be very hard due to your commitment. You can try starting the water fasting on the weekend when you can slow down. If water fasting becomes too difficult go back to juice...

- FaeryDust: hi all. The salad last night hurt my stomach a little but yay the fog has lifted. I’m kind of afraid to eat because I don’t want to put the little bit of weight i lost back on. I’m planning to go for a walk today.
- keith101: HI SARAH,HI FEARYDUST….tod ay is day 18 of my water fast, i went shopping today, i must heve walked about 4 mile…bad idea my back is killing me,,i carried 4 heavy bags of shoping back for my mother,i had to sit half way back to get some oxygen flowing round my body,im also...

- Tom Coghill: Hi FaeryDust, Go to a thrift shop as you can find a juice for under $10. But even a cheap one works. Mango or melon are great for breaking a fast. Keep in mind fasting is a discipline like martial arts. You have to make mistakes to learn your limits and weaknesses. Keep your thought...
- Tom Coghill: Hi FaeryDust, Fasting is deeply personal. It more about transforming our life through a deep cleansing of all the junk in our life. So the struggle and challenges are totally relevant to your fast and sharing helps others in the same position. Water fasting can be very difficult and...
- sourgrapes: Hello, FaeryDust, Sounds like your going through a low i had a bad one on my fifth day didn’t think i could do it any more, was very depressed and felt worthless. But i managed to get through by telling my self i would at least see the day out and the feeling did pass. so hang...
- FaeryDust: The bicarbonate of soda is what i usually take to get rid of acid when I have it, which is not often. Usually if i have over eaten or had something really spicy. Normally it works, I drink a glass of it, have a huge belch *blush* and I’m good again.. but now with this fasting.....
- FaeryDust: I don’t think i can do this anymore, im *HUNGRY* I thought the hunger pangs were supposed to go away after 4 days but it’s not happening for me. I really want to eat.. I’m disappointed in myself.. but i just can’t stand this.

- Tom Coghill: Hi Sourgrapes, You may do better having 2 to 4 glasses of fresh juice per day. It feels better and you have energy. Many want to jump into water fasting but the body is too toxic. Juice fast first.

- Fasting Disasters, Blowing it Bad. (4)
- Tom Coghill: Hi Christana24 When you break a fast, the digestibility of the food is the most important. For example 100 grams of nuts will cause stomach pain and cramps, 100 grams of mango will make you feel energetic. 1 week later the nuts may be fine but at day one of breaking the fast nuts...
- christina24: Hi there, I have been reading about how to break a fast.. On Sunday I’ll be breaking my 20 day water fast. I keep reading what to eat and to keep with small portions, but I’m wondering about calories. To make sure I don’t have to much, how many calories should I aim...
- Tom Coghill: Hi CarinaTG If you blow a fast go to juice fasting for a day or two for your stomach to recover. Water fasting under stressful circumstances is a bad idea and usually results in failure.
- carinaTG: day 5 of my “fast”.. the first couple of days I was good.. then I started sneaking a little food, nothing bad, broccoli, some grapes.. TODAY i blew it bad.. lots of junk, including brownies.. so I start over tomorrow? it felt so good.. but a stressful week, the whole reason...

- Tom Coghill: Hi KamilaS Yes, loud heart beat and a slow heart beat is normal as the heart is working on reduces glucose so it does not have full power like any muscle that is lacking in glucose supply.
- KamilaS: Hi Tom! My name is Kamila, I am 21 years old, 118 pounds, and 5′8ft (173 cm). I have been on water fast for 38 hours. I have 10 hours left. It is night time but my loud heart beat is keeping me awake. Is this normal during a water fast? It is also pretty slow (60bpm).
