These results support several prior studies in which we showed that routine periodic fasting across the lifespan is, in fact, linked to a lower risk of diabetes and a lower risk of coronary artery disease.Medical Research News and Interviews: MedicalResearch.com: The Fasting II trial was a single-arm interventional trial of 24-hour water-only fasting among pre-diabetics with metabolic syndrome. The participants were adults with fasting blood glucose >100 mg/dL and at least two other components of the metabolic syndrome, including high triglycerides, low HDL cholesterol (the “good” cholesterol), high blood pressure, or high waist circumference. The participants were asked to fast once per week for 6 weeks, with multiple goals in this pilot study. This is the first interventional trial of fasting in people with pre-diabetes or diabetes.
