Hi...I went on a fast for 5 days a few years ago and lost 42 pounds.My wife and kid are going away for a few days and I was considering it again.My knowledege of diabetes is pretty sparse but going by what I've seen on tv I could go temporarly blind? or worse?......mulling it over but thinking maybe not a good idea with type 2?. :?
 
Hi Greg and welcome to the forum :) Instead of a full fast, some members on here are doing a 600-800 calorie diet. There are several active threads on here (3 I think) - just search "defatizing" (yes, with a "z"). The idea is to remove the fat around the pancreas (or internal fat) to remove all signs of diabetes. No-one has finished yet so we don't know what the effects are. I am not recommending you do this diet, but if you do, please get medical advice first. You might find it interesting to read these threads through.
 
Thanks for that...funnily enough my dad told me about that from a news article. He said researchers have found the a very calorie controlled diet for a period of time, gets rid of the visceral fat, and the participants showed no sign of diabetes after the study?....I'll check out the on going discussion...thanks
 
Hi again Greg :) I was wrong - there are 4 threads on this type of diet. Happy reading :)
