Tickerguy, good reminder.
I have been fasting, it works even if you do eat some carbs. The last week or so, I have nothing but coffee until about 5 pm and then I eat dinner. Not a problem at all. I also fasted for 48 hours straight and it was very doable. Just made sure I had some bullion for the salt.
Jason Fung is an MD who gets it and wrote this book

Fortunately not all doctors are recommending that type II diabetics eat a high-carb diet, although I agree with you that the medical establishment as a whole is AFU.
