The Diabetes Code: Prevent and Reverse Type 2 Diabetes Naturally by Jason Fung
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I actually finished this one a few days ago. It was a library Kindle book. As usual, I used text-to-speech to get through it.
I read the Obesity Code first. So this is the follow-up book. The information is similar in that it is about Intermittent Fasting and how it can help both conditions, obesity, and diabetes. I found both books quite interesting and inspirational. Though this one seems to have redundancies and often repeated itself. I figure that was to keep the medical eyes reading. There were a lot of charts to help prove Doctor Jason Fung’s theory.
If you are interested in IF, please give this and his other books a look. I think I need to get the hard copy as a reference.
After reading the book, can you say if it would help my friend who has type 2 diabetes from her FA? I mean, she’s skinny and her disease is the reason for her diabetes. Or is this book mainly for dealing with obesity.
I think a doctor that is versed in IF should monitor the fasting. Dr. Jason likes the 36 hour fasts for diabetes. His specialty is kidneys so by the time diabetics got to him they were sure life was over. He would put people who were 500 pounds on long fasts but he was able to monitor always to make sure of their health. FA is far more serious, I would assume. Yet he has a lot of facts that make fasting appealing if one is careful with the feasting parts. By the way, I’ve only managed the occasional 20 hour fast. Mostly I do the 16/8. I try to have clean or Keto friendly foods on feast times.
