Reply to comment by not_cinderella in Intermittent Fasting significantly reduced systolic blood pressure (SBP), but not diastolic blood pressure (DBP). The effects are likely due to weight loss. by glawgii

Anecdotally, it seems to help some diabetics I know control their fasting blood glucose levels better. There is limited data on this so far, though.

It is hypothesized that it may help reduce some negative aging effects, but the articles sadly seem to all be paywalled.

I think I’ve heard that before. But is it just type II diabetes or both type I and II?

It's far from definitive, but here's an article on Diabetes.co.uk

>A study published in February [2017] reported that cyclical fasting helped to repair beta cells in mouse models of type 1 diabetes. This may be due to the fact that autophagy is often followed by a massive boost in stem cells that can replenish or replace beta cells destroyed by autoimmune processes with healthy cells
