Type II Diabetes and Intermittent Fasting
We had a few discussions on type II and intermittent fasting.
I was very interested to find out how fasting helps type II diabetes.
The summation from what I have gathered till now is:
1. Too much insulin production leads to insulin desensitization in one's body
2. Reducing carb/sugar and calorie intake leads to lower overall insulin production and then in turn body becomes sensitive to insulin again.
But what about fasting?
Fat around the pancreas - yes sir, those chunks around your pancreas aka fatty acid causes insulin production to be elevated (not in everyone though).
So fasting or reduced calorie diet helps get rid of the fat around the pancreas and in turn lowers insulin production.
From what I found it was a German Study, can't find the link right now.
Here is some info
