Time-restricted Eating, Window Timing, Type 2 Diabetes Status and Sex on Glycemic Control (NCT06118931)
The Impact of Time-restricted Eating, Window Timing, Type 2 Diabetes Status and Sex on Glycemic Control
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This study will evaluate the effectiveness of time-restricted eating (TRE), which is a form of intermittent fasting. When performing TRE, individuals consume all of their calories within a specific time window and then only consume water or other no calorie drinks the rest of the day. TRE is performed each day. There is no restriction on the quality or amount of food that people can consume during their eating window (ad libitum eating) with TRE, which can last anywhere from 4 to 12 hours. We are comparing three different 9-hour eating windows to determine whether the start and stop time of the eating window impact blood sugar control in individuals with obesity who also have or are at risk for type 2 diabetes. We also aim to determine if there are differences in the effects of the timing of eating window between males and females.
