Time-Restricted eating: a new weapon against diabetes?
NCT ID NCT05365529
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether time-restricted eating (eating all meals within an 8-10 hour window each day) can help people with type 2 diabetes better control their blood sugar and improve heart health. About 60 adults with type 2 diabetes will either follow their usual care or add time-restricted eating for several months. Researchers will measure changes in blood sugar levels and other health markers to see if this eating pattern is both feasible and effective.
