Time-restricted eating for blood sugar in young adults with obesity
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether eating only during certain hours of the day (time-restricted eating) can help improve blood sugar levels and reduce inflammation in young adults who are obese and have prediabetes or insulin resistance. If you qualify, you'll follow a special eating schedule to see if it helps your body use insulin better.
