Medically fasting is discouraged in patients with high blood sugar levels and heart diseases. It can have a detrimental affect on health specially for people living with type1 and type 2 diabetes.

Hi I have been getting a weird fluttering/pulsating/vibrating sensation under my left rib - no pain - don't think it's linked to my heart as I have counted my pulse same time as having the odd sensation, any ideas on what this can be?
