I fast for 36 hours every week, from Sunday evening until Tuesday morning. To admit it, sometimes I'm overly tempted and I don't make it. It has kept my A1C levels very low. My normal blood sugar is in the 120-140 range, but always below 100 on Tuesdays. I have read elsewhere that fasting can pull A1C down by .5 easily, and that it also triggers a cellular process called "autophagy" that is very helpful.
