Dietary energy restriction tested to reverse prediabetes – study withdrawn
NCT ID NCT06451055
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study aimed to see if an 8-week low-calorie diet (about 1,300 calories per day) could reverse isolated impaired fasting glucose, a form of prediabetes, in overweight adults aged 35 to 65. Participants would have received pre-prepared meals and been monitored for changes in blood sugar and weight. However, the study was withdrawn before enrolling anyone, so no data are available.
