Study Summary

This trial will test if reducing the time spent eating each day can improve blood sugar levels for people with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes, potentially allowing them to take less medication.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 18-64 with poorly controlled Type 2 diabetes, an A1c level of at least 8.0, and stable on diabetic medications for the past three months. It's not suitable for those with severe hypoglycemia history, advanced organ failure, significant mental impairments, thyroid issues in the last six months, current participation in another study or non-adherence to treatments.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if Time-Restricted Feeding can improve blood sugar control in Type 2 diabetes patients using their current or lower doses of antidiabetic drugs over a period of three weeks.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While not drug-related, potential side effects may include hunger outside allowed eating times and changes in energy levels due to altered meal timing.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Time restricted feedingExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
The study will consist of three phases. In phase I all study subjects will be in the ad libitum feeding phase for one week followed by Phase II. In Phase II the subjects will be placed on time-restricted fasting (feeding between 4 AM - 4 PM, fasting in the rest of the day) for one week. For phase III (final week), patients will be returned to an ad libitum feeding. The first and third phases will serve as control phases, and the second phase will be the experimental phase
