Fasting

Ok
Type 2 does not have to be a progressive disease providing you take the right steps to control it.
I am an evangelist both for Dr Fung and the Ketogenic diet which have helped me to bring my blood sugars under control after diagnosis in October 2015.
I skipped breakfast from diagnosis thus beginning intermittent fasting and have since also done extended fasts. This alongside cutting most carbohydrates out of my diet has enabled me to gain control over elevated blood sugars to the extent that I have normalised my HbA1c for the time being.
Fasting is a great aid but I would caution against extended fasting until you become a "fat burner" i.e. you have done a couple of month of very low carb eating.
There is a fasting section under the diets heading on this forum.. maybe have a read there and come back with any questions.
Hope that helps a bit.

I was impressed with the results Jason Fung has had with diabetes and weight loss. His fasting course videos are on https://www.dietdoctor.com/. I am now doing intermittent fasting at the weekend, just eating once a day. This is to accelerate the amount of visceral fat I can burn off with my LCHF diet, which hopefully will help reverse my type 2 diabetes.

Overall, I have found fasting to be surprisingly easy.
