I just finished reading 'The Obesity Code', 'The Diabetes Code' and 'A Complete Guide to Fasting' by Dr. Jason Fung. I'm on my third week of intermittent-fasting + keto and those books have been full of insights.

Avoid artificial sweeteners during fasting. The incretin effect from tasting something sweet will cause you to produce insulin, reduce your fat metabolism, decrease gluconeogenesis, and cause your blood sugar to drop.

Usually it's recommended sticking to water, coffee, tea, and sometimes bone broth for longer fasts to supplement a little protein and electrolytes.

For more information, Dr. Jason Fung wrote two books on this: "The Obesity Code" and "The Diabetes Code". Both are VERY much worth reading.

Type 2 diabetes can be reversed through diet. The evidence comes from medical practitioners and scientists, not from quacks making outlandish claims (although they exist too).

Some links:

The Diabetes Code by Jason Fung: This is a best-selling book by a Canadian Nephrologist (care and treatment of kidney disease) that explains type 2 diabetes in detail and recommends diabetics switch to a low-carb diet.

Counterweight Plus low-calorie diet plan: This diet was run as part of a scientific trial and showed promising results for obese patients with type 2 diabetes. Nearly half of the 300 patients in the trial reversed their diabetes. Note: the diet was run under the supervision of medical professionals and is not suitable for everyone:

The Truth about Carbs: this is a BBC documentary from earlier this year which is unfortunately no longer available to watch on the BBC website. It featured NHS doctors who ran a two-week low-carb diet plan with type 2 diabetic patients. All patients reported improvements to their health, but the most impressive result was a patient with type 2 diabetes for 17 years who was now in part-remission.

Here is a thorough write-up of the programme:

A clip from the programme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKQWFJmCWZE

10 things you may not know about carbs: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/4DfZMpv7BYJ3kGXdHxd...

Just to re-iterate, the examples above all refer to types 2 diabetes, not type 1 diabetes.

If you want to reverse diabetes you need at least some fasting. Keto can do a heck of a lot to help, however the incretin effect will cause insulin levels to increase during mealtimes sabotaging the necessary reduction in insulin resistance for your liver and pancreas.

Dr. Jason Fung, a kidney specialist, runs an intensive dietary management program in Canada and has written a book called "The Diabetes Code" that describes the methods they use to reverse Type 2. I would recommend that anyone with Type 2 diabetes read at least that book and maybe also his other book called "The Obesity Code."
