Dinner routine study for weight and prediabetes health
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether changing your dinner timing and routine can improve health related to weight and blood sugar in people with obesity and prediabetes (or healthy weight). You’ll follow a set dinner schedule and complete study visits while the team monitors outcomes.
