Ask yourself why.
A FReeper mentioned this on a thread in the past week or so, causing me to look this up.
Hence the Islands of Langerhans in the pancreas.
Nope.
Only a vaccine will do.
Only a vaccine with a patent that hasn’t run out.
WE had a Cat that had diabetes , I had to give her a shot of insulin twice a day
Dr Fung plan book very good.
But hard to comply with if you have a lifetime of different dietary habits.
Type 1 cannot be cured.
And by not eating, that means starving until you die.
Read The Discovery of Insulin by Michael Bliss.
Why? I am assuming you mean why hasn't the medical establishment told people how to cure diabetes (or put it into 'remission' as you alluded to). Vices exist because life is hard, pretty much for all of us, and people find different ways to cope. For some it is a chocolate cake. For others a pack of Marlboro's.
I want everyone to avoid all of this, and I want everyone to be healthy. That said, everyone has personal choice (or should), and no one else knows exactly what another person is going through.
Victoza costs about $1000 (or more) for a three week regimen. Fasting costs very little.
Big Pharma makes oodles of money on Type II diabetes.
Yes, the medical establishment, including the ADA and the AMA, have known diabetes was able to be put into remission, or even “cured,” since 1800.....
Same with high cholesterol and other “diseases.”
Most physicians still advocate the “balanced diet.”
Plenty of evidence low carb works but from the interviews I’ve seen, few MD’s have faith their patients will stay on it.
Hence they order the meds.
Number one cause of diabetes (II) is visceral (belly) fat. Not fat anywhere else but specifically around the belly. Get rid of belly fat and it will greatly improve insulin sensitivity. You will almost never see a type II diabetic with a flat stomach. Second is lack of exercise or a sedentary lifestyle. It’s well studied and documented that exercise promotes insulin sensitivity and lack of it causes insulin resistance . Start working out and /or going for long brisk walks and it will do wonders to your blood glucose. Just taking care of these two will reverse type II diabetes in most otherwise healthy people.
Gary Taubes wrote a couple good books on this. Highly recommend.
Cholesterol Myths is also great. Here’s the PDF: https://www.ravnskov.nu/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/CM.pdf
Became much less trusting of the medical community in general after reading this.
When you say fasting are you talking a day, multiple days or weeks?
I just read where Berberine is supposed to help diabetes.
Thanks for the info everyone. Made my walk today. Blood sugar 106. Moving on...
I fasted 5 days a week (almost every week) for a couple years and my diabetes is in remission. My wife did Keto for that time period and she, too, is in remission.
In many people wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) mimics insulin in that it plugs into cellular insulin receptors. However, WGA doesn’t transport glucose into cells like insulin does. The blood fills with glucose, causing pancreas islet cells to flood the blood with insulin. The immune system can mount a response, attacking WGA and attacking the cells which WGA attaches to.
If you cut back on carbohydrates? Well, wheat is a carbohydrate, isn’t it? Don’t believe me. Search the terms for yourself, “wheat protein mimics insulin”.

What kind of fasting?
You are an idiot. Until the discovery of insulin most diabetics died at a young age.
Diet alone will not cure diabetes.
