Summary:
- The study found that late eaters, defined as those who consume their main meal after 6 PM, have poorer glucose tolerance compared to early eaters, regardless of their body weight or diet composition.
- The study included older adults with prediabetes and showed that late eaters had higher blood glucose levels and lower insulin sensitivity, putting them at a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
- The findings suggest that the timing of meals, rather than just the content, may be an important factor in managing blood glucose levels and preventing the progression to type 2 diabetes, especially in older adults with prediabetes.
