As a prediabetic, I’ve been wondering about this one for a while. I’ve heard contradictory things - intermittent fasting is great for your blood sugar! It’s terrible for your blood sugar! etc.

Apparently, it’s good to skip a meal, but only if it’s dinner. Skipping breakfast or lunch will harm your blood sugar situation. Is that it?
