Just curious, has any of you tried, or would you consider trying, fasting for a few days every month?

I think the problem is that if you can't fix whatever is causing your body to attack your own pancreas first, it doesn't really matter if you're able to slowly regenerate the insulin-producing cells - you can't make any headway.

The article hypes increased beta cell generation but as far as I skipped doesn't address the characteristic T1 immune response attacking them. Seems incomplete to me.

If the immune response is stalled/reversed during the fast, the causal agent seems pretty clear (and corroborated by studies innumerable): it's the food you eat.

I didn't see anything about immune response. The omission is a rather common occurrence with crank T1 "advice". Which is why I stopped reading.

Fasting is great! After 48 hours, you can feel how "inflammation" goes away.

The problem is that it is difficult to make money out of it, so it doesn't get the attention it deserves.
