"Optimizing Blood Sugar: The Benefits of Time-Restricted Eating and Plant-Based Diets for Prediabetes and Type 2 Diabetes"
Early time-restricted eating, a form of intermittent fasting, can improve fluctuations in blood glucose levels and reduce the risk of developing prediabetes, according to a study presented at the Endocrine Society's annual meeting. The study compared early time-restricted eating with a usual diet pattern and found that eating the majority of one's calories earlier in the day reduces the time that blood sugar is elevated, thereby improving metabolic health. However, more studies are needed to determine if early time-restricted feeding could be used as an effective intervention strategy for improving blood glucose levels.
