forces many people to adjust their lifestyle and eating habits. In an effort to manage this disease, the body's blood sugar and insulin levels should be kept consistent and stable. And according to one recent study,
Type 2 Diabetes patients who restrict their meals to certain times of the day could see fewer dramatic spikes and drops in their metabolic health., researchers conducted a trial where 14 Type 2 Diabetes participants underwent a 3-week TRE, a time-restricting eating diet that keeps one's daily food intake within a 10-hour time period.
. Due to the discovery of decreased glucose levels at night,"the study did find that restricting eating to a 10-hour window results in decreased 24-hour glucose levels," however, he goes on to explain,"this is not a surprising finding, since glucose levels normally go up after eating, and participants were eating for a shorter period of the day."
Also, there were some mishaps during the trial that should be accounted for."In one case, there was incomplete data due to technical issues, so only data from 10 of the volunteers were analyzed," Bohl says. This is in addition to many of the trial participants specifically taking glucose-lowering medications at the time, while others were not.
