Excerpt from Fasting and Undernutrition in the Treatment of Diabetes Fasting (not starvation) has an assured place in diabetes therapy, a place, however, which is not by far as important as some modern enthusiasts are wont to make us believe. Fasting without being followed by undernutrition is entirely valueless so far as the management of diabetes is concerned. In the preponderating majority of instances of diabetes a protracted fasting-undernutrition regimen is, fortunately, not indicated. In all such eases we do more lasting good without incurring any risks by following the older approved methods of dieting. Only the advanced and severest forms of diabetes which are no longer or never were beneficially influenced by ordinary antidiabetic dieting are apt to be appreciably improved by continued fasting and undernutrition. This little book is based entirely upon personal observations and experiences. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
