Hi! I don't know if you're still out there or getting notices re responses... but thought I'd chime in late since I just saw this.
I'm a type I, so I deal with some different issues than you do, but I am loving IF for controlling my b/s! I do best when I eat one meal a day, at dinner time, but I also freely consume heavy whipping cream in my coffee throughout the day. The HWC is metabolically kind of neutral and does nothing to my b/s at all, but does give me a steady stream of calories during the day (I normally have around 300 calories worth every day). For my evening meal, I limit carbs to about 10 or less grams and I don't eat any grains at all. I stick to approx. 50 grams of protein, which I normally have in my one meal, but sometimes I will split it up into a meal of 30 or 35 g protein and then a snack a couple of hours later with 15 grams.
This works great for me bc I don't get the up/down/up/down/up/down in blood sugar you get from eating all of those dumb small meals they always tell you to eat. And I don't get a very large magnitude shift from my one meal, since it's so low in carbs and protein. I eat as much fat as I want, btw.
