Intermittent fasting and diabetes?

Question

Hello ! I am starting an intermittent fasting 16/8 for various reasons. Well being, weight loss... However, I have been under treatment for several years and take 2 pills every morning when I get up (1 against type 2 diabetes and 1 against hypertension) Does this break my fast? If so, is it possible to take my medication at noon? Thank you

Hello, thank you for your question! Unfortunately, the question should be asked to a nutritionist. He/she will be better able to evaluate the impact of intermittent fasting on your health As for your medications, you should talk to your pharmacist: their effects could be modified following a change in lifestyle and diet. He or she can help you manage your medication schedule or suggest changes (for example, switching to extended-release medications). Sincerely Tom Samaha, Pharmacist
