Summary

This study tests whether keeping a consistent daily routine—like eating and sleeping at the same times—can improve blood sugar control and reduce body fat in people with pre-diabetes. Researchers will enroll 34 adults and ask half to follow a fixed schedule for 12 weeks. The goal is to see if this simple lifestyle change is feasible and effective for managing pre-diabetes.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: fixed daily schedule (behavioral intervention)
What this could lead to: If it works, this could point toward a simple, drug-free way to help manage pre-diabetes and reduce diabetes risk.
What could go wrong: This is a very small, early feasibility study with only 34 people. Results may not apply to everyone, and sticking to a fixed schedule may be hard for some.
