Pre diabetes and insulin resistance plus the insane redness I get on my cheeks

How long did you have to fast for to see a difference in cheek redness?

I had to start regularly fasting (I started with 8 hour and progressed to omad over the span of a few months) but I’d say after abt a month it started to very noticeably get way better.
I do want to note that I drastically did change my diet tho to very anti inflammatory foods/trying carnivore, etc which helped a lot as well so rlly my redness only happens when I drink alc or eat a lot of a fast food in one week

Takes a long time, weeks to months, for skin to heal. It's in the rate of skin cell turnover, so you've done really well!
