Is fasting good for diabetics?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Three well-balanced meals a day with weight reduction and exercise is best. There is no reason to fast, although short periods of fasting are not harmful, they certainly are not beneficial. Don't believe what you hear from friends, tv or the internet.
