After a year and 1/2 of poor control (for various reasons we need not go into), I decided to get back on track. I was diagnosed in 1985 so I've been at this a while. I resumed being very careful about carb intake, which, along with Meteormin, is my method of treatment. After a few days I began adding a fast. The way I did it was to eat whatever I was going to eat in an 8-hour window. Though most people find it easiest to skip breakfast in this scenario, I decided it would be best for my morning fasting blood sugars to skip dinner (giving my sugars 16 hours to settle down). I did it about 4 days a week when I started but have now completed 12 days in a row. The results have been quite dramatic. In the three weeks period that I have eaten carefully and fasted, my morning blood sugars have dropped to the low 80s (80 = 4.44) from 160. I also have lost 10 lbs. To further enhance the effect, during the time we would have been eating dinner, my wife and i walk for a mile and a half. The one thin I am not sure about is that when I saw the doctor 3 weeks ago, she recommended that I begin Victoza and take it at least until I retire at the end of the year, to help me while my eating was not under good control. I did start at the preliminary dose, which, according to the manufacturer is not effective for glycemic control, but only to develop a tolerance for the gastric side effects of the drug. My readings were advancing so rapidly that I never upped the dose to the level that is supposed to be therapeutic. So there may be a possibility that some of the success is due to the Victoza, even though I am not on a therapeutic dose. I'll talk to my doctor about it when I see her next (in May). If I continue to improve, I will probably wean myself off the drug to see if it is contributing or not. I have read Fung's book. He seems to recommend one of the longer period fasting regimens for type 2, but I think combining the 8 hour eating window with low-carb and exercise is working well. If that changes, I can always twerk the way I fast. I believe the key would be to do whatever you are willing to do to make it work for you. As he said in the book, there are no rules.
