Can i fast for one day as i m diabetic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: It depends on if you are type 1 or type 2. Your diabetes regimen will need to be adjusted accordingly. This is very individualized, so your own doctor should tell you how much to cut back Insulin or which med to continue or stop. There should be a good reason why you would want to fast for one day also.
