It will help if you eliminate fat from you diet after you start back to eating for the diabetes. I know it sounds crazy but it really does make a difference in insulin resistance and overall numbers. Have a great day today. Yesterday I had to stop and talk myself out of eating homemade bread that I was making my husband. I gave it to the dog. He like it and I feel somehow like an overcomer by sticking to water fasting. I have before for long period of time and off and on during the months. Have not done one long one since I got h-pylori infection and that would tear me up when I fasted now that it is gone been doing slow maybe week long but wanted to do long one till I get hungry. It is for health benefits as well as just setting my mind straight and at peace
