IF offered better glycemic control for Type II Diabetes (see the last sentence):

> Synthesis All 27 IF trials found weight loss of 0.8% to 13.0% of baseline weight with no serious adverse events. Twelve studies comparing IF to calorie restriction found equivalent results. The 5 studies that included patients with type 2 diabetes documented improved glycemic control.

Is "glycaemic control" a general benefit, or is that only good for people with diabetes (and other conditions?)?

I've wondered if IF makes a difference in that way. If there's a pain au chocolat for me, and I eat it at breakfast is that different to me eating all the same food in the day but eating that pain au choc after lunch?

Great question. My guess would that it would be correlated, at least. If you check this out, please share back what you find.
