The Fasting Mimicing Diet also holds promsie. I would not say any of these are a cure but it has been shown that beta cells in the pancreas do regenerate and that this process can be kick started by going into starvation and refeed cycles. By not eating for a few days, and then slowly eating again, 700 calories, 800 calories, until day 5 where you refeed completely with normal eating. It is good to do this cycle once a month but as type 1 it is very dangerous and would require medical supervision. Type 2 diabetics might be able to get away with not eating for a few days depending on how severe it is such as if they require insulin injections or not. It is also safe as far as I know to consume foods like avocados exclusively, which don't have much in it to raise blood sugar, and avoid protein, because fat produces ketones, but again it's something to do very carefully.

Thanks for the links :) Yes ketosis can be particularly risky in type I.
