Fasting and hypoglycemia.
 
Okay, any tips on how to fast with hypoglycemia? All my searches turn out "fasting hypoglycemia". No help there. :)

Don't do a complete fast - do a partial, such as the Daniel Fast or something similiar....

I was thinking maybe a juice fast, but that would go against doc orders. I was told to keep away from processed sugars, and even to avoid natural sugars such as those in fruit.

Diabetics and fasting can be a dangerous mix. My suggestion would be to do some serious praying before going into any complete fast.

It can be done... just need to consult your dr first and find out what kind he recommends.

My mother was a severe diabetic and she at dr recommendation was even able to do a complete food fast for 3 months. It was liquid diet only. It was very successful and she lost 100 lbs... it was not for the same reasons as Berk ask but my mothers dr said this is a lot of time what they recommend for people asking for spiritual reasons also. Your Dr will know Berk.

And this is not aimed at no one but Berk. Do not let anyone discourage you from doing this. If you feel it needs to be done your dr can advise you on something that will be safe for you to do.
