Glucose metabolism responds to perceived sugar intake more than actual intake

So is it expected that you do this intermittent fasting until you reverse T2 diabetes? If so - how long? Six months, 1 year, more or less? Or does this depend on individual - how long it takes her/him to reverse T2 diabetes? Or is this a lifestyle change that you incorporate until EOL?

This is quantifiable.

Ideally start when you’re only in the “pre-diabetic” range: fasting glucose above ~105ish, A1C > 5.7.

Those are the numbers you’re trying to lower. So how long you go with a dietary change depends on how well you’re able to manage this numbers down, and keep them down.

Surely some of this depends on how rigorously you can decrease your sugar intake, fasting or not, and/or restore better function of your systems (e.g. exercise, fasting).
