I have a long , sad family history of Type 2 adult onset diabetes, some members were overweight, some the opposite, but in my opinion, they all had "bad" eating and drinking habits. Obviously the genetics didn't help, but
I return to the eating habits to explain a lot of the negative results.

I have engaged in all types of therapy over the years(I'm78). Used the best oral meds. had reasonably good control, but then I was introduced to INTERMITTENT FASTING and have great control with a low dose o f Glipizide ever since.

Intermittent fasting isn't easy, but the results are so dramatic, that it quickly becomes a second nature habit.
Intermittent fasting means no food...none... for a period of 12-16 hours each day. So if I stop eating at 8 pm at night, I refrain from eating again until noon the next day(or sometimes later), That's right...NO breakfast, not a morsel. I do crave and consume a cup of hot tea when I awake, then that's it.

Within a week or so, my glucose numbers started to improve, I stopped entirely my (expensive)Januvia, I started to lose weight( eventually 15 pounds), morning joint pain was reduced( and soon eliminated). I'd put these results in the "miracle drug" category except NO drugs are involved, just a daily pause in eating.

And, by the way, at least 8 hours of my "fasting time" is spent sleeping.

I have always been "hungry" upon waking, but a simple cup of hot tea satiates that feeling until I enjoy my (sizable) lunch at 12 or 1 pm.

Try it and see. Let us know your experience .
