As some of you may know I am a type 2 diabetic. I started re-engaging on a WFPB diet in earnest 2/3/2019. I thought it may be of interest for y'all to follow my journey!

On 1/2/19 I started eating my main meal first thing in the morning. The meal consisted of kale, fresh cilantro, beans, baby potatoes and squash, cooked with red and green bell peppers, Jalapenos,in a tomato garlic and cilantro seed sauce. - size 4 cups.

At lunch I ate 2 cups of kale and beans. In the evening, 2 cups of a berry pudding consisting of blackberries, raspberries, blueberries and pears cooked with quinoa.

I aimed top drink 64oz of water a day. Through a miscalculation of the travel cup size I was using, it turned out I actually was drinking 72oz of water. I drank the first 18oz on waking which worked out to be 1 hour before breakfast. A second 18oz an hour after breakfast, the 3rd at 1pm and the last one during by pudding at around 5pm

I made it to bed by 8pm (6-7pm some nights) and rose at 5AM on week days. Friday and Saturday I retired to bed at 10PM (once I slipped to 11PM) and arose Saturday and Sunday by 7:30AM. So in short I have been fasting from 5pm - 8am or 15 hours.

The following graph shows my blood sugar results so far. While I should have started taking 500mg of Metformin with breakfast and 500mg with evening meal, I didn't start this straight away as it took me a while to get to CVS to fill the prescription.

I hope this is of interest
