I know that intermittent fasting is a huge thing now, even amongst diabetics, but I don;t get it. I haven't fasted well ever. I probably was prediabetic years before I was finally diagnosed properly

Obviously you should ask your own rav. But from what I gathered, he knows dh and how his recent diagnosis is effecting his mental health. Fasting is just too much for him right now. He just can't handle it. For Yom Kippur he did the minimum shiurim.

Intermittent fasting works for me. Specifically, I eat within an 8-hour window, let's say from 10 am to 6 pm, and fast for the remaining 16 hours. This pattern has helped me maintain a more stable blood sugar level throughout the day.
Diet-wise, I emphasize low-carb foods. A typical day might include a breakfast of avocado and eggs, lunch with grilled chicken over a bed of greens, and, for dinner, some fish with steamed veggies on the side. I also snack on nuts and seeds occasionally. Reducing processed foods and sugars has been a game-changer for me.

You should consider this an emergent question if you take insulin. If you fast, and you take insulin, or oral hypoglycaemics it will literally be Pikuach nefesh if you don’t know how to adapt your insulin for fasting.
