FASTING MIMICING DIETS HAVE NOT BEEN SPECIFICALLY TESTED FOR TREATMENT OF EITHER TYPE 1 OR TYPE 2 DIABETES ALONE OR EVEN WITH THE HELP OF A DOCTOR. THEREFORE, ALTHOUGH FASTING HAS BEEN SHOWN TO BE A GREAT BENEFIT, NO CLAIMS CAN BE MADE REGARDING FMD.  THE COMBINATION OF THE FMD AND INSULIN BUT ALSO OTHER DRUGS COULD CAUSE SEVERE PROBLEMS AND EVEN DEATH. ALTHOUGH THE USE OF THE FMD TO TREAT EITHER TYPE 1 OR 2 DIABETES IS PROMISING, IT MUST BE FIRST TESTED AND PROVEN EFFECTIVE IN FDA CLINICAL TRIALS WHICH WILL PROBABLY REQUIRE HOSPITALIZATION DURING THE TREATMENT.
