The Fasting Mimicking Diet (FMD) shows promise in treating diabetes, with some participants able to reduce medication after the diet, according to a 12-month study. However, the diet alone is insufficient for diabetes reversal, as significant weight loss is required.

This approach is advocated over simply managing the disease with medication and moderate health changes.
