Time-restricted eating to improve heart and sugar health
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether eating only within a set daily time window can improve cardiometabolic health (things like blood sugar and heart-related measures). You may be eligible if you have overweight and borderline/high-risk blood sugar but do not have diabetes and can follow the eating and testing rules.
