Summary
This study compared time-restricted eating (eating only during a 6-8 hour window each day) to daily calorie restriction for weight loss and blood sugar control in 32 adults with type 1 diabetes and obesity. Participants followed their assigned diet while continuing insulin and glucose monitoring. The goal was to see if the simpler fasting approach could help with weight management and improve blood sugar levels.
