Summary

This study tests whether walking at least 10,000 steps a day and avoiding snacks after 8 p.m. can improve metabolic health in teenagers aged 12-18 with prediabetes. Eighty participants will be randomly assigned to either the lifestyle program or standard care for 8 weeks. The main goal is to see if these changes improve how the body handles sugar and fat.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
behavioural intervention: increased physical activity (≥10,000 steps/day) and stopping evening snacking after 8 p.m.
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple lifestyle program to help teens with prediabetes improve their insulin sensitivity and reduce diabetes risk.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase study (80 participants) testing a behavioural change, which can be hard to stick with. Results may not apply to all teens, and the 8-week duration is too short to know long-term effects.
