A member asked:
Can fasting 24 hours every 2 days cause diabetes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Diabetes type 1, insulin dependent is caused by autoimmune destruction of beta cells of pancreas. Diabetes type 2 is caused by relative deficiency of insulin compared to needs. By fasting, you induce secretion of Gherlin , making you feel hungry and decreases acid secretion. When you fast, you should only drink nonalcoholic drinks. Frequent fasting neither causes nor cures diabetes. Hope it helps
