Recent studies have shown that intermittent fasting can be a powerful tool in managing and even reversing type 2 diabetes. This news is exciting for those living with the condition, as it offers hope of a more effective treatment option than what has been available in the past.
Intermittent fasting has become increasingly popular in recent years. It is essentially a dietary pattern that alternates between fasting and eating periods, providing health benefits beyond what regular dieting alone can do. Intermittent fasting encourages intermittent caloric intake, where meals are eaten during certain windows of time, leading to reduced calorie intake overall.

Research into intermittent fasting has shown that it can reduce the risk of heart disease, improve inflammation, insulin resistance, blood sugar control, and cholesterol levels, and have the added benefit of promoting weight loss that is easier to sustain compared to other kinds of diets.
A recent study published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism included a 3-month intermittent fasting diet intervention among 36 people with type 2 diabetes. It was found that almost 90% of participants, including those who took blood sugar-lowering agents and insulin, could reduce their diabetes medication intake after following an intermittent fasting schedule.
Of the 36 participants, fifty percent experienced diabetes remission and were able to discontinue their diabetes medication. They were all able to maintain it for at least one year after the study.
Researchers also noted that these new findings go against the conventional view that diabetes remission can only be achieved in those with a shorter diabetes duration (0-6 years). Sixty-five percent of study participants with diabetes remission had a diabetes duration of more than six years.

Diabetes medication can be costly and become a barrier for many patients trying to manage their diabetes. This study allowed patients to decrease medication costs by 77% after intermittent fasting.
Combined with other lifestyle changes, such as improving physical activity levels, this dieting technique may yield positive health benefits in terms of diabetes prevention or long-term management.

Sarah began her interest in nutritional healing at an early age. After going through health problems and becoming frustrated with the conventional ways doctors wanted to treat her illness (which were not working), she took it upon herself to find alternative treatments. This led her to revolutionize her own diet to help her get healthier and tackle her health problems. She began treating her illness by living a more balanced lifestyle through healthy food choices, exercise and other alternative medicine such as meditation. This total positive lifestyle change led her to earn a diploma in Nutritional Therapy from Health Sciences Academy in London, England. Today, Sarah enjoys helping others by teaching healthy lifestyle changes through her personal consultations and with her regular contributions to the Doctors Health Press. Also, passionate about following her dreams in life, Sarah moved to France and lived in Paris for over 5 years where she earned a certification in beadwork and embroidery from Lesage (an atelier owned by Chanel). She then went on to be a familiar face sitting front row and reporting from Paris Fashion Week. Sarah continues to practice some of the cultural ways of life she learned while in Europe. They enjoy their food, and take the time to relax and enjoy many of life’s little moments. These are life lessons she is glad to have brought back home with her.
