About this trial

The objective of this study is to investigate the impact of hypocaloric time-restricted eating (TRE) at different day times (early versus late TRE) on glucose metabolism and other cardiometabolic parameters in individuals with overweight and with normal, or impaired glucose metabolism (prediabetes and type 2 diabetes). In addition, the study aims to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying these effects.

OR impaired glucose metabolism (fasting glucose 100-125 mg/dl and/or glucose after 2 hours OGTT 140-199 mg/dl and/or HbA1c 5.7-6.4%)

OR type 2 diabetes (according to existing medical diagnosis or fasting glucose >126 mg/dl and/or glucose after 2 hours OGTT >200 mg/dl and/or HbA1c ≥6.5%)

Disqualifiers
