Intermittent fasting impacts patients
Scientists conducted a three-month diet intervention on 36 people with the disease. After the period, they analyzed that most patients reduced their medication intake after fasting. Furthermore, 55% of these patients achieved remission of the diabetes, stopping your medication altogether.
