Intermittent fasting and prediabetes study
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests different types of intermittent fasting (like skipping some meals or eating only during certain hours) to see how they affect blood sugar, inflammation, and overall health in people with prediabetes. If you have higher-than-normal blood sugar but not diabetes yet, this trial might help you find a way to lower it.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have prediabetes (fasting blood sugar 100-125 mg/dL or blood sugar 2 hours after eating is 140-199 mg/dL).
- You are willing to follow a fasting or diet plan for about 4-6 weeks.
- You are okay with being assigned to one of three groups: fasting on Monday and Thursday, fasting every other day, or eating only during a certain time each day.
- You do not have type 2 diabetes or take diabetes medicines.
- You do not have a serious health condition like kidney, liver, heart failure, or an eating disorder.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

This study tests three different intermittent fasting plans over 4-6 weeks to see how they affect blood sugar, inflammation, and body composition in people with prediabetes. It aims to find an eating pattern that could help prevent type 2 diabetes.
This study tests whether intermittent fasting can improve how your body releases and uses insulin if you have prediabetes or early type 2 diabetes. It may help your blood sugar control without using insulin.
This study looks at how intermittent fasting affects your body's “metabolism” (how you use food and manage blood sugar/fats). It may help researchers understand whether this eating pattern changes metabolic health in people at higher risk for type 2 diabetes.
This trial tests whether matching daily lifestyle habits to a 24-hour body rhythm can improve blood sugar levels in people with prediabetes. You may be asked to follow a detailed schedule and avoid certain medicines for a short time before study visits.
This study tests whether a Mediterranean diet can help people with prediabetes improve their blood sugar levels. You'll follow a specific meal plan for a period of time and have your blood sugar and other health markers checked.
This study tests if combining three dietary changes and physical activity can help people with prediabetes. Prediabetes means your blood sugar is higher than normal but not high enough to be diabetes yet.
