Chapter 6 – Fasting for Type 2 Diabetes

The rate of people affected by type 2 diabetes has quadrupled since 1980.

Dr. Fung goes into describing the history of treatment and misunderstanding of type 2 diabetes in this chapter.

Types 2 diabetes = insulin resistance = high blood glucose, increase in insulin in the body, inability to use fat for fuel.

In the toxic state of high glucose you have to options to reduce blood glucose:

(1) stop consuming glucose

(2) burn off the glucose

Fasting provides an effective route for both of those options. Less effectively you can use a high fat low carb ketogenic style diet to reduce the consumption of glucose.

CAUTION: medications are usually prescribed based on your current diet. To introduce fasting without consulting your physician can result in excessively low blood sugar which is also very dangerous. Generally you want to reduce your medication while fasting but you also want to continue to monitor your blood sugar regularly. If you find it is at a higher level than you set out to maintain, you can take more. Once again be sure to consult your doctor.
