I'd love a source on this.
I'm in my late 50s and do IF. My last blood tests came out perfect, as in my doctor was almost pissed that she couldn't tell me to quit something :)
If you candy carb load on withdrawal at 18.00 regulary that will surely strain your insulin receptors a lot.
Would be good to know if the claim IF>Diabetes specifies different ways of doing it.
I don't know if there is one. Intermittent fasting can actually help with diabetes I was told, but not sure about full day fasting with one meal at the end.
I suspect the issue is you get hit with a bunch of carbs and sugars all at once and it overloads your pancreas's ability to produce insulin.
