There has been a lot of press about intermittent fasting, and sooner or later many of your patients with diabetes will want to try it for themselves. One of the attractive features for our patients is the ease of use. No special formulas, no special diets; patients simply have to pick how many hours a day or days a week they are not going to consume any food and get started. Our intern Amber Satz, PharmD Candidate, LECOM School of Pharmacy, has looked at recent studies and found some very interesting information on how intermittent fasting works and why patients are successful.

Our publisher, Steve Freed, reminded me that we have been reporting on this method of weight loss and glucose control for the last 3 years, and he has decided to re-share the video series that Dr. Mark Mattson, Chief of the Laboratory of Neurosciences at The National Institute on Aging, did for us back in 2016.
