THURSDAY, July 27, 2023 (HealthDay News) — Time-restricted eating (TRE) may help people with type 2 diabetes lose weight, according to a study presented during NUTRITION 2023, the annual meeting of the American Society for Nutrition, held from July 22 to 25 in Boston.<\/p>\n
Vasiliki Pavlou, R.D., from the University of Illinois Chicago, and colleagues compared the effect of eight-hour TRE, calorie restriction (25 percent), and no intervention (control) on body weight, cardiometabolic risk factors, and glycemic control in 57 randomly assigned adults with type 2 diabetes and overweight or obesity. <\/p>\n
The researchers found that by month 6, body weight decreased significantly in the TRE group (\u00e2\u0088\u00924.7 percent) versus calorie restriction (\u00e2\u0088\u00921.6 percent) and control (\u00e2\u0088\u00920.8 percent). There was also a significant decrease in fat mass in the TRE group versus control, but not versus calorie restriction. In the TRE group, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol increased significantly versus calorie restriction, but not compared with control. There were no significant between-group differences noted for changes in systolic and diastolic blood pressure, visceral fat mass, lean mass, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, fasting glucose, fasting insulin, hemoglobin A1C, or insulin resistance at month 6. Throughout the trial, adherence to TRE remained high, with participants adhering to the eight-hour eating window on six days\/week.<\/p>\n
“There are multiple types of medications for those with type 2 diabetes, some of which can cause low blood sugar and some that need to be taken with food,” Pavlou said in a statement. “Therefore, it is important to work closely with a dietitian or doctor when implementing this dieting approach.”<\/p>\n
