Abstract in brief

  • A study on 23 male patients with obesity and type 2 diabetes tested alternate-day fasting (30 hours of fasting every other day) over 6 weeks to see its effects on metabolic health.
  • The results showed that while body weight and visceral fat decreased significantly, insulin secretion and sensitivity improved only with weight loss and not through fasting alone.
  • The study concluded that alternate-day fasting is feasible in this population and helps reduce fat deposits but does not enhance insulin metrics without concurrent weight loss.
