Using a sample of adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D), a randomized clinical trial sought to determine whether time-restricted eating (TRE) is more effective than daily calorie restriction (CR) or a control condition for weight reduction and glycemic control. The 6-month trial found that the group practicing TRE without calorie counting experienced significant weight loss and reduced HbA1c levels compared to the CR and control groups. There were no significant differences in other outcomes such as time in euglycemic range, blood pressure, and plasma lipid levels. No serious adverse events were reported. Larger trials are needed to confirm these findings.
