Would restricted feeding schedules work for Type 1 diabetes, even if a fast had to be broken before the full fasting time due to low blood sugars? I'm a 52-year-old Type 1 diabetic with good control, and I'm interested in better A1c numbers and reducing the mental load of managing my condition. I've noticed that not eating for at least a few hours before bed improves my numbers. However, if my blood glucose goes low, I need to take sugar to correct it. Is there still a benefit to restricted feeding even if I have to interrupt the fast? Any information on these issues would be interesting!
