•Dietary changes are a crucial component of managing type 2 diabetes and can even help achieve remission of the disease.
• Fasting diets, which involve calorie restriction during specific hours or days, have been shown to be effective in alleviating symptoms of type 2 diabetes.
• A previous randomized controlled trial demonstrated that a monthly cycle of a fasting-mimicking diet that limits calorie intake during five consecutive days can lower blood sugar levels and reduce reliance on medications.
• Data from a recent study provides real-world evidence to support the effectiveness of a 5-day fasting-mimicking diet, beyond the controlled conditions of a clinical trial.
