If I fasted for any more than 24 hours, my blood/glucose levels would drop very low. Does eating a sugar pill (giant glucose tablet) every few hours count as eating?
Got a tip for us?

I wouldn't think so. 🙁
Crashing into a diabetic shock is hardly the way to die-t. 😉

depends on your medical issues.
For me fasting is a bad idea as I am hypoglycemic so my blood sugar would drop. I get shacky if when I get hungry and have not eatten. Plus my mood goes pretty far south. Much more than normal people.
I personally will not take parts in fast and I point to that reason of my hypoglycemay and my friends would accept that as my answer for not taking part in it. I would support them when they would do it by not eating around them or talking about food.

On the other hand; diabetic coma=weight loss.
Gotta work out the pros and cons of all this.
My blood sugar was 20 once because I did a few hours of yard work but never ate or drank anything. I could barely climb up a flight of stairs without feeling like I was about to faint. I would much rather stay-at-my/gain weight
