Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a condition that affects how the body uses
glucose for energy. Over time, T2D can damage nerves and blood vessels.
More than 37 million Americans have the condition.Researchers compared the
effects of time-restricted intermittent fasting, caloric restriction, and a
weight loss booklet on weight loss.They found that time-restricted intermittent fasting reduced blood sugar
levels and increased insulin sensitivity more than the other methods.Studies show that intermittent fasting (IF) can help manage the condition.
One study found that IF can lead to weight loss. Another study reported
that IF can reduce cholesterol levels in older adult men.

Recently, researchers compared the effects of time-restricted IF and a
reduced calorie diet for people prone to developing T2D.
They found that time-restricted IF led to greater improvements in post-meal
blood sugar levels than a reduced-calorie diet.
