Study Summary

This trial will help researchers understand how different meal times affect people with diabetes and prediabetes, in terms of blood sugar, metabolism, microbiome, and sleep physiology. Additionally, researchers will study how different meals affect a person's temperature and heart rate.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes managed by diet or metformin. Participants should be generally healthy, not pregnant, and not on weight loss meds or special diets. They must understand the study and agree to its procedures.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study examines how meal timing and composition affect blood sugar levels, metabolism, gut bacteria, body temperature, heart rate response, and sleep in people with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves dietary changes rather than medication, side effects may include hunger at unusual times due to altered eating patterns and potential discomfort from monitoring devices.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: InterventionExperimental Treatment4 Interventions
Participants will undergo a baseline phase for 20 days, where they will follow their regular dietary intake, physical activity, and sleep. They will be wearing a CGM and an activity monitor and for a couple of nights, they will use a sleep monitor. That will be followed by 4 interventional phases where they will be asked to limit their daily eating to 10 hours or less (Time Restricted Eating, TRE), with the eating window and the caloric distribution will be shifted during each of the next 3 phases, each phase lasting 20 days. The last phase will last 8 days and participants will be asked to consume provided meals with a determined amount of protein, carbohydrates, and fat. Their body temperature will be measured using a continuous temperature device and a heart rate monitor to capture dynamic rage of the sympathetic response during and after the meal consumption (thermotyping).

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Is enrollment still open for those who wish to participate in this experiment?

"According to records found on clinicaltrials.gov, the initial posting for this trial was made on June 1st 2022 and the most recent update occurred a week later. While currently inactive, there are an abundance of other research initiatives enrolling volunteers at present."

Answered by AI

What is the main aim of this clinical experiment?

"This clinical trial has a main objective of measuring core body temperature response to meal consumption over the course of 5 months. The secondary outcomes include changes in sleep quality (measured via headband wearable device) including duration and frequency, as well as an assessment on sleep efficiency compared against baseline measurements."
