What Is Prolonged Fasting?
Prolonged fasting, also known as continuous fasting or extended fasting, refers to abstaining from food for more than 24 hours typically between 36 hours and several days. It’s different from intermittent fasting, which usually involves fasting for 14–18 hours daily.
Prolonged Fasting and Diabetes: A Game-Changer
Several studies now suggest that prolonged fasting and diabetes reversal are closely linked. By switching from glucose-burning to fat-burning mode, the body lowers insulin levels and increases insulin sensitivity.
Fasting helps reduce insulin resistance, one of the root causes of type 2 diabetes. Research from case studies and pilot programs has shown that supervised fasting can reduce the need for insulin and even lead to diabetes remission in some patients.
What Happens to Your Body During a Prolonged Fast?
During prolonged fasting, your body shifts gears:
- Blood sugar drops, reducing the need for insulin
- Fat burning increases, leading to weight loss
- Autophagykicks in your body’s way of cleaning damaged cells
- Inflammation decreases, and cellular repair accelerates
It’s not just a calorie deficit, it’s deep, systemic healing.
