This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether the timing of when you eat protein versus carbohydrates during the day affects how your body controls blood sugar. You would try two different meal patterns over 8 weeks total — one where you eat high-protein breakfasts and high-carb dinners, and another where you flip that around — to see which one helps your glucose levels stay steadier.
Many people with prediabetes and type 2 diabetes struggle to keep their blood sugar under control, even with diet and lifestyle changes. Researchers want to know if simply rearranging when you eat carbs versus protein during the day could be an easy, medication-free way to help.
You would follow two different meal patterns, each lasting 4 weeks, with a 4-week break in between. During each 4-week period, you'd eat meals with specific amounts of protein and carbohydrates at breakfast and dinner — the proportions would switch between the two periods so researchers can compare how each timing affects your blood sugar. The study team would track your glucose metabolism and other health markers throughout.
