Fasting Twice a Week Helps Type 2 Diabetes Control.

In 2025, Haohao Zhang and team at Zhengzhou University compared three diets for 52 obese people with type 2 diabetes: intermittent fasting (5:2 plan, eating normally five days and cutting calories two), time-restricted eating, and steady calorie reduction. They measured weight, blood sugar, and insulin response over months.

The 5:2 fasting group saw the best results, with bigger drops in fasting blood sugar, better insulin sensitivity, and lower triglycerides. They also stuck with it better than the other groups. All diets helped with weight and blood sugar, but 5:2 stood out for stronger diabetes control.

Try the 5:2 fasting plan if you have type 2 diabetes to improve blood sugar control.
