精“英”克糖|间歇性禁食对2型糖尿病患者的影响(中)

There are a plethora of studies looking at people who have risk factors for developing diabetes. But we've only been able to identify 7 studies where the study population, where people who have diagnosed type 2 diabetes. And among those, there are quite a number of different fasting regimes that have been looked at. Only one, actually, those consistent across any of the studies, was a 2-day-perweek fasting regimen, where 3 of those 7 studies looked at that twice weekly fasting regimen. All the others had their own regimen, and they have found some very interesting outcomes. As you might expect, they all found that weight was reduced. And studies among apparently healthy people have primary also addressed weight loss and found that it's very similar amount of weight loss to continuous energy restriction, or caloric restriction. These studies of people with type 2 diabetes also have found that the glycemic control improves. And they have found that includes reduction in hemoglobin A1c. Again, it's been similar amount of reduction to, what we say, with the caloric restriction. 

And in fact, in in one study, the largest study of these 7, where they evaluated 137 individuals, they found that it was equivalent reduction to what was found for people engaging in caloric restriction that was twice a week fasting. There also are improvements in glucose and quality of life and blood pressure. And they're variety of other benefits that are potential, some of them related to mood and depression. A lot of the benefits that are reported for intermittent fasting center on metabolic health and diabetes risk, and so it makes sense that we study people with diabetes. Because it seems like probably a lot of the benefits are focused on that population for intermittent fasting.
