[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1944163, member: 41816"] Hi and welcome, I doubt VERY much if you will find any study that divides people into such specific timeslots. It wouldn't be practical to conduct the study, and impossible to verify, unless the participants were held in a closed environment for a long period of time. Your underlying question seems to be more about insulin resistance than about fasting timeslots. By that, I mean that the way our bodies respond to fasting is hugely dependent on our ongoing insulin resistance - and of course that is affected by a lot more than just when we eat and when we fast. You are eating 100-150g of carbs daily (if I have understood your post correctly), so comparing your fasting experiences with someone who eats less than 50g carbs a day would be very difficult. In addition, there will be a lot of other factors (sleep patterns, stress and exercise levels, whether your carb intake is high or low GI) which will all be affecting your insulin resistance too. So would extending your daily fast by 2 hours make a difference to your HbA1c? Maybe. You would have to try it and see. But I think there are other things you could do that would make a much bigger difference - if you wanted to adopt them. [/QUOTE]
