4. Reduces insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes:
High blood sugar levels due to insulin resistance is one of the main type 2 diabetes mellitus causative factors. intermittent fasting is effective in lowering fasting glucose and insulin levels and decreasing the risk of insulin resistance it also decreases the level of leptin and increases the level of adiponectin and lowers the level of CRP and diabetes-associated inflammation.
as insulin levels decrease the build-up of fat in adipose tissue decreases which leads to weight loss and lower rates of complications associated with obesity and diabetes from macrovascular complications like atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease, and strokes or microvascular complications like renal glomerulopathy, eye retinopathy, and peripheral vascular disease.
