Discover the secrets of the newest dietary fad sweeping the world. Do I.F. diets actually work, and how will they affect your body if you're managing diabetes?
1) Intermittent Fasting, also known as I.F., is an eating pattern where one cycles between periods of fasting and periods of eating.
2) Usually, I.F. diets aren't centered around the types of food you eat, but when you eat. The most common form of I.F. involves an 8 hour eating window and a 16 hour fast. These 16 hours can include your sleep time.
3) A different version of I.F. is known as the Eat-Stop-Eat method, which involves two 24 hour fasts per week. This style of I.F. may create a hypoglycemic effect, and may be dangerous to those suffering from diabetes.
4) Fasting can create ketosis inside the body, which occurs when there is no remaining glucose to be used as fuel. At this point, the body will utilize muscle and fat cells, and begin burning ketones for fuel. That's why I.F. is considered to be a type of ketogenic diet.
5) Ketosis can lead to decreased inflammation, improved glucose regulation, and better stress adaptation. It may also aid in weight loss and increase insulin sensitivity.
6) Keto diets, however, may interfere with the body's ability to utilize insulin, and could lead to increased levels of insulin resistance.
7) At the same time, evidence suggests that keto diets, done correctly, may lower the risk of developing diabetes.
8) Before trying out an I.F. diet, be sure to speak with your doctor. It's also essential to monitor your glucose throughout your day. If you're diabetic, it's important to wear a medical alert bracelet. Exercise is integral to diabetes-management as well, but strength-training can lead to an increase in blood sugar. And, of course, it's always important to be mindful of the type of food, and the amount of food that you eat.

I started IF in March 2021. A1C was almost 8. This is June 2022. My A1C is now 6 and I’ve lost 80lbs. From 285 to 205 and still losing. I do 18hrs of fast and 6 hour eating window. Avoid sugar and complex carbs like the plague. It was hard at first, and I do get hungry. But, I’ve never cheated and am determined to get down to 180. It’s all willpower and self discipline.

If you have history of small bowel obstruction how much I.F can you do.

[@DiabetesSmartsProgram]

Alma, that's a good question and probably one to ask your doctor, to get the best advice.

[@younasmohammed6364]

Quite negative - without explaining benefits of IF - who will taking aggressive meds whilst fasting ?

[@Tonycardoza1]

I am Type 2 and did a 40 hour fast but I passed out. I had been doing a 24 hour fast so thought it was ok.

[@mylongevityliving7494]

Can one Pre d type 2 go on Vegan Vegetarian plus on OMAD to reverse Pre d type 2? If yes, take how long the time periods ? The equation result shall be: OMAD + VEGAN VEGETARIAN + how many days or months or years ? = HBA1c < 5.4 Purpose: to reverse early Pre d type 2

[@mrs.b6793]

I'm so afraid of trying I.F. because of my diabetes. My nutritionist told me to have small meals every 3 hours instead. Plus regular walking and exercise.

[@nemo7782]

Your body would be better off if you started with a 12-hour fast between the end of dinner at night until breakfast in the morning. Then move dinner back an hour or two or breakfast ahead an hour or two later. Do this until you are at 16/8 or 18/6. I also advise watching Dr. Jason Fung's videos about IF. Good luck! BTW- I am diabetic and fasting does not whack my blood sugar as bad as some doctors promote.

[@fullersfamily4568]

@@nemo7782 so true. Thee months ago I was almost 14 but within six weeks it went to 7.7. I'll be seeing the doc in August and I'm expecting better scores. I eat 11:00 a.m. and at 6:00 p.m no snacks and I drink water and organic roasted dandelion tea without sugar sometimes twice per day. I drink other teas too. Mo sugar, lil or no fruits. Eggs, avocado cruciferous vegetables and fish and meats

[@mrs.b6793]

@@nemo7782 Thanks for letting me know all of these. I'll give it a go this week and see what my body tells me. I'll check Dr. Jason Fung's videos as well. Have a great day ☺
