Can eating breakfast early and morning light fix your body clock and lower blood sugar?

NCT ID NCT04155619

Summary

This study is testing if changing *when* you eat and get light exposure can help control type 2 diabetes. Researchers are enrolling 344 adults with type 2 diabetes to try either eating all meals earlier in the day, using timed bright light therapy, both, or neither for 16 weeks. The goal is to see if these simple timing changes can improve blood sugar levels, body weight, sleep, and overall health by better aligning the body's natural daily rhythms.
