Is TRE’s Effect On Type 2 Diabetes Just Due To Less Calories?

Previous studies indicate that TRE (which limits when, but not what, individuals eat) can improve insulin sensitivity (the body’s ability to respond to insulin) and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c; average blood sugar levels over a period of weeks and months) in people at risk of type 2 diabetes.

However, the effect on glycaemic variability (fluctuations in blood glucose levels) is not clear and previous studies have attributed the positive effects of TRE to reduced energy intake.
