Nayiri Mississian - a Type 1 Diabetic Who Defied the Experts - #49

"Just eat whatever you want and cover it with insulin." That was the advice Nayiri Mississian received as a type 1 diabetic. She learned that it didn't improve her blood sugars. No matter what she did, her blood sugars continue to rise. The one thing she didn't try was slashing the carbs from her diet. A chance encounter with Jason Fung persuaded her to adapt low-carb diet and extended fasting in her lifestyle. Her blood sugar improved. She took her bio-hacking even further with extended fasting. The "experts" say diabetics shouldn't fast. Yet she found that extended fasts helped to reset her insulin sensitivity. Her biohacking led to optimized health, stable blood sugars, and reduced insulin needs. She shares scientific information about low carbs and fasting on her website and social media platforms.
