Pretty sure that 18:6 intermittent fasting would cure type 2 diabetes. The 6 hours of ketosis you would get from that would give your beta cells a compete rest, and they would start to restore themselves.
Just 3 to 6 months of 18:6 should do the trick, especially if your diet is nutritious and at a reasonable level of calories.
There has been a lot of research concerning beta cell regeneration because they know that that would basically cure diabetes, but so far, that’s a complete failure. Diabetes happens when the beta cells die, so that the pancreas cannot produce adequate levels of insulin.
Beta cells work the opposite of muscles. When you really work muscle, it gets stronger, but when you overwork a beta cell, it dies.
I don’t think you need a ketogenic diet with 18:6 intermittent fasting because you get the ketosis from the fasting, but a diet that’s moderate in carbohydrates and somewhat higher in fat would be a good choice. You don’t want excessive carbohydrates, which would spike insulin, but fat has no impact on spiking insulin.
