Taking acabose while calorie restricting?

[Cloud9]

I have started taking 100mgs of acabose twice a day . I do calorie restricting with a 5 hour window in between meals . Some times I only eat once a day in the evening . Would taking 200mgs of acabose once a day with only one meal still be effective ?

Hi @Cloud9 you can see some related discussion on this thread

Acarbose for healthy person? WHY?

Why would a healthy 40-year-old man with good body composition (5% body fat), an HbA1c of 5%, fasting insulin of 16 pmol/L, and triglycerides of 43 mg/dL consider Acarbose? I’m curious about the benefits you all are seeking by avoiding the peaks. I’ve never found reliable data showing that occasional glucose spikes are detrimental to healthy individuals. In fact, considering glycogen storage after a workout, allowing some glucose spikes might even be a beneficial strategy. Thank you everyone!

If you still have more questions the the fasting/CR context, might be relevant to ask/discuss that there
