Thank you for sharing your experience, Jenny. Sorry to read about your diabetes situation and the cost associated with managing it, but I am pleased that you approach your health with awareness. Some diabetes clinics use fasting as a prevention and treatment tool. I read inspiring case studies from clinicians reversing type II diabetes. I wrote about it last year.
Apart from fasting the most effective way is increasing exercise like long walks without elevating stress hormones. I also shared a case study.
