Can Diabetics fast safely? - 11/12/2007 15:47
Fasting can be used in diabetes and can acutally be quite effective in lowering the resistance to Insulin. Very often, however, we find that there is a short "honeymoon" period at the start of the fast, with aften a few days of total insulin independence, but after the 3rd to 4th day many patients need a bit of insulin support.
The bottom line: Every diabetic patient is a unique "case" and should be managed "hands-on" when fasting. Close monitoring should include laboratory facilities for measuring blood sugar accurately, as well as electrolytes (Na, Ka, Cl, Ca, Mg, etc.) and, most importantly, arterial blood pH.
With all this and a qualified or knowledgeable supervisor, fasting can be about the best thing a diabetic can do. Without the appropriate supervision it can be fatal.

Excellent reference, confirms what we;ve experienced for decades.. OF COURSE diabetis is curable, particularly type II or NIDDM. Type I will only be "curable" if it is treated very early in the disease, and then one needs to stick to a regularly fasting lifestyle to maintain this, and of course avoid whatever triggered it off..
