It seems extreme dieting three or so days at a time does wonders. I will try to dig up these other studies and post them below.
I know brief periods of fasting seem to help give the organs a rest.
Type 2 diabetes is a reversible condition:

Fasting-mimicking diet may reverse diabetes (Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes):

Diabetic mice on fasting-mimicking diet repair insulin-producing pancreas cells (More on the reversal of Type 1 diabetes from above):

Thanks for posting this.
So the too many intimate dinners for two with just me showing up is prolly my big downfall?
There are books on this subject. I can’t remember exactly what the process is, but it basically sums up as follows: If you fast for a few days, you either die, or you force your body to properly use insulin and properly regulate blood sugar. If you’re Type 2 diabetic, then the second of the 2 happens (your body starts to work properly). I don’t enough to talk about Type 1.
Of course, we’re conditioned (and used to) eating ‘3 healthy (or not) meals a day’, so it’s next to impossible to get people to try fasting, and thus drugs are the only other option. But humans did evolve with the ability to live for weeks off of stored fat...but drug companies did not.
Ran across info on morning blood sugar readings — if they are high.
It could be ‘dawn phenomenon’ or ‘Somogyi effect’. Apparently, while sleeping, the body dumps hormones that cause an increased insulin resistance, thus giving higher blood sugar levels.
I have found mine as high as 140+ in the morning and as low as 98 by 6 p.m. (before eating evening meal).

Just something simple like not adding sugar to cereals and avoiding drinks with sugar brought my A1C from 8.7 to 5.6 in 90 days along with a weight loss of 25 pounds. The only dietary items avoided are pizza and desserts.

Since May, I lost 60 pounds and I am free of type two Diabetes. Another 140 to go.
My goal is to be able to go to Disney world in 2020 and be able to eat a churro with no worries.

“Studies” are all bullshit!
A low cal diet cannot in any way affect the causes of type II diabetes.
The Ottoboni study is the only valid one, and it correctly pins the cause on the use of polyunsaturated oils, and a defficiency of Chromium and Vanadium.

For later
They are missing the gut bug component. Sure, cutting calories helps. But people get stuck eating the incredible barrage of sugars and carbs (but I repeat myself) in the standard American diet. The most important thing is to stop eating the carbs. No breads, pastries, cereals, fruits. Eat protein and fat from healthy animals, veggies of all kinds (including tubers for the gut bugs). You will change your gut bacteria biome composition. Get populations in your gut who actually crave roasted veggies and not sugars. It really works. It would be better to control the content over the calories. There is no way to eat like I describe above and keep type 2diabetes. It simply isn’t possible.
