Hello XXXXX.
Thanks for the query.
Fasting can control your post prandial sugar but it will lead to ketosis.Also there is risk of hypoglycemia due to fasting.You can keep control over diet by avoiding high glycemic index food but complete fasting should be avoided.You can continue with the treatment advised by your physician that will help you to control sugar for longterm.
Hope this helps you better.
