Fasting Insights
Starting with individual tolerance is crucial when introducing fasting, especially for women who may face challenges due to blood sugar dysregulation. Elevated cortisol during fasting can lead to negative effects like weight gain and fatigue, particularly in those with adrenal fatigue. Proper blood sugar management and specific nutrient support can make fasting a beneficial tool, with a recommended approach being a 16:8 fasting regimen.In this clip

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!
