If you're a diabetic like me I'd recommend don't do intermittent fasting. I almost died. My blood sugar goes from 300+ to 50ish some days and when I tried this I never felt hunger. I felt like I was about to slip in a coma all day.



Type 1 I assume? TFA was a study on people with Type 2.


That's interesting! How long were your fasts?


Basically I was trying to skip lunch. I'd wake up and eat oatmeal, and some protein (usually yogurt) and I'd try and make it to dinner time. No Bueno.
