Phase 2 — Testing in a bigger group (up to a few hundred people) to see if the treatment actually works and is still safe.
This trial is testing whether time-restricted eating—eating all your food and drinks within a consistent 10-hour window each day—can help improve metabolic health in people with prediabetes and metabolic syndrome. Researchers believe that keeping a regular daily rhythm of eating and fasting helps your body manage blood sugar and other markers of heart and metabolic health better. Over 54 weeks, you'll either follow the 10-hour eating window while using a smartphone app to log meals, or continue with your normal eating habits as a comparison group.
Many people with prediabetes and metabolic syndrome struggle to improve their blood sugar and cholesterol levels even with standard lifestyle advice. This medication-free approach may help by working with your body's natural daily rhythms, potentially offering a simpler and more sustainable way to prevent type 2 diabetes and heart disease.

You'll be in the study for 54 weeks (about one year). If you're assigned to the time-restricted eating group, you'll eat all your meals and drinks within a consistent 10-hour window each day and use a smartphone app to log everything you eat. Both groups will meet with a dietitian regularly and wear devices to track sleep, activity, and blood sugar (at three timepoints). You'll have blood tests, body measurements, and scans to check how your metabolic markers change over time.
