Abstract
Diabetes is a progressive and chronic insulin metabolic disorder characterized by increased blood glucose levels, which can result in damage and disability if followed by microvascular and macrovascular disease. The development of diabetes type 2 treatment with risk factors characterized by prediabetes followed by obesity is one of the problems in carrying out treatment. Therefore, many modern medicine is not effective if not made changes in lifestyle. A Muslim scientist Ibn Sina, 1000 years ago gave a basic concept in the treatment of diabetes with early risk factors for prediabetes by means of complementary principles or known as traditional medicine. However, Ibn Sina^s principles of lifestyle change were a decisive factor in the merging of the two concepts of treatment. especially in terms of carrying out food restriction by fasting/autophagy practice to achieve a neutral body ^mizaj^ condition.
