I would consult my dr about fasting.
My husband is type II diabetic. He no longer has to take meds but monitors his blood glucose level closely.

My mother was a severe diabetic and she at dr recommendation was even able to do a complete food fast for 3 months. It was liquid diet only. It was very successful and she lost 100 lbs... it was not for the same reasons as Berk ask but my mothers dr said this is a lot of time what they recommend for people asking for spiritual reasons also. Your Dr will know Berk.

And this is not aimed at no one but Berk. Do not let anyone discourage you from doing this. If you feel it needs to be done your dr can advise you on something that will be safe for you to do.

I agree with you AG . I was typing (slow) when you posted.

Would likewise agree check with Dr. and if feel extended fast be sure you are doing for right reasons.

I'm type II, with oral and insulin. I felt moved last year to go on 40 day water only fast. Told Dr I would monitor regularly. After second week was totally without meds and bs stayed around 104 the next four weeks.

As has been echoed here, it can be done, but it needs to be under doctor supervision if an extended fast and you are not used to it.
