You should always talk with your Dr. first. A one day fast really does not do much, physically, for most, but for a diabetic it is a very bad idea.
My 14 day water only fasts always made him nervous, but he never told me not to and read all the lit and monitored me twice the first two times I did it.
I can never do it again for many reasons. I miss it.
They actually took about a month, more if I was eating meat at the time, to actually do. It is a gradual thing, the water-only part is only one aspect of the whole fast. There is a vegetarian, juice, liquid, water-only, stage; then reverse the process after the water process that takes a while.
I did it, mostly, for detox, meditative as well as other (like the removal of internal pests) reasons.
