Diet timing and exercise to prevent muscle loss in postmenopausal women with diabetes
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether combining a time-restricted eating plan (shortening your daily eating window) with a physical activity program can help prevent muscle loss and weakness in postmenopausal women with obesity and type 2 diabetes.
