Welcome collegefan and Congrats on the turn around in health,
You have found a great forum , not just a long thread on fasting, but this sub-forum on diabetes, and all the other sub-forums here for over 15 years. Recipes, info on cholesterol, etc.
also look at DietDoctor, Dr Westman and Dr Hallberg's TEDTalk to understand why empowered patients are rejecting the "progressive disease" and meds to instead treat their diabetes with nutrition.
