Last updated on 28 Sep 2023
If your cells become too resistant to insulin, it leads to elevated blood glucose levels (hyperglycemia), which, over time, leads to prediabetes and Type 2 diabetes.
This effect is seen with fasting periods as short as 24-36 hours. Longer duration fasts reduce insulin more dramatically.
In type 2 diabetes, the pancreas makes insulin, but the cells don't respond to it as they should. This is called insulin resistance. When glucose can't get into cells, the blood sugar level rises.
