Intermittent fasting in Type 2 diabetes mellitus and the risk of hypoglycaemia: a randomized controlled trial

Abstract

In individuals with Type 2 diabetes on hypoglycaemic medications, fasting of any type increased the rate of hypoglycaemia. With education and medication reduction, fewer than expected hypoglycaemic events occurred. Although it was not possible to determine whether fasting on consecutive days increased the risk of hypoglycaemia, an acceptable rate was observed in both arms.

Intermittent Fasting for Twelve Weeks Leads to Increases in Fat Mass and Hyperinsulinemia in Young Female Wistar Rats

“…Several studies about IF in both volunteers and animal models have uncovered beneficial effects, such as improved insulin sensitivity and glucose homeostasis [8][9][10]; improved performance and metabolic efficiency during exercise [11], increased alertness [12], and increased life expectancy [13][14][15];…”

The effect of pre‐pregnancy lifestyle counselling on food intakes and association between food intakes and gestational diabetes in high‐risk women: results from a randomised controlled trial

“…Throughout this time, our two journals (including the predecessor of the Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics, Human Nutrition: Applied Nutrition) have promoted and published the guidelines either separately, as in 1982 (1) , 1992 (2) and 2011 (3) , or jointly, as in 2003 (4,5) . To celebrate the 2018 version (6) , we have decided to publish a joint virtual issue of Diabetic Medicine and the Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics to highlight how the nutrition research published in both journals has informed the current evidence-based guidelines and how our publications are shaping areas of emerging nutritional advice, such as intermittent fasting (7) , low-carbohydrate diets (8) and the prevention of diabetes (9,10) .…”
