Time-restricted eating for better blood sugar control in adults at risk
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether limiting your eating to a shorter time window each day (time-restricted eating) improves your body's 24-hour blood sugar control and daily rhythms. You may be asked to follow a specific eating schedule and have blood tests and other measurements over several weeks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 35 and 75 years old.
- Your body mass index (BMI) must be between 27 and 45, meaning you are likely overweight or have obesity.
- You must have pre-diabetes or insulin resistance, shown by a blood test or a doctor's diagnosis.
- Your current eating pattern should span at least 13 hours per day (for example, from breakfast to evening snack).
- You must be willing to follow a time-restricted eating plan (such as eating only within a 10-hour window) for several weeks.
