Is it true that intermittent fasting lowers fasting blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes?

Yes. A 2026 meta-analysis of 14 randomized trials in 899 patients with type 2 diabetes or prediabetes found intermittent fasting reduced fasting blood glucose more than an ad libitum diet and comparably to continuous energy restriction. A separate 99-participant randomized trial in obese diabetic patients also reported improved fasting blood sugar with intermittent fasting.
