An authoritative guide to using intermittent fasting to treat, manage, and, in some cases, reverse diabetes and prediabetes from the author of The Circadian Code.Today, one in ten Americans is diagnosed with diabetes every year, and one in three is likely to have pre-diabetes. Diabetes is linked to other chronic health conditions like obesity, heart disease, and Alzheimer's disease and can potentially lead to life-threatening complications. The typical way to treat diabetes has been through daily testing, prescription medication, and restrictive dieting, yet these strategies are not 100% effective because compliance remains low. In The Circadian Diabetes Solution, senior Salk Institute researcher Satchin Panda, PhD, takes circadian rhythm science to the next level of medical treatment. Based on cutting-edge research from his own and others' labs, the time-restricted eating program that forms the backbone of the intermittent fasting weight loss protocol has been scientifically shown to be an effective tool in the personal fight against diabetes. It's not what you eat that makes a difference, it's when. His core recommendation is to select a ten-hour window of time within which readers can comfortably eat all of their food and beverages almost every day. By doing so, they will see several benefits: They can reverse pre-diabetes, better manage type 2 diabetes with less medication, enhance immunity, and lose weight along the way. This complete protocol shows readers how to time their eating, including carbs, with their blood glucose response, which varies between day and night. It includes plans for optimal timing for sleep, exercise, and medication.The program in The Circadian Diabetes Solution not only helps to reverse prediabetes and manage type 2 diabetes, but it also enhances every other aspect of your health, from losing weight to enhancing immunity.
