ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how changing the timing and composition of meals affects blood sugar levels, metabolism, body temperature, and sleep in people with prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, and those who are generally healthy. Researchers want to understand how different meals can impact these factors, which could help improve health for those with diabetes or at risk of developing it.

To participate in this study, you need to be at least 18 years old and generally healthy, or have prediabetes or type 2 diabetes that is managed either through diet or with the medication metformin. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding cannot join. If you decide to participate, you’ll be asked to give your consent and follow certain study procedures. This study is currently recruiting participants, so if you're interested, it could be a chance to contribute to important research that may benefit many people with similar health conditions.
