Summary:
In adults with type 2 diabetes, time-restricted eating (TRE) and daily calorie restriction (CR) did not significantly affect mood or quality of life compared to controls. However, the findings may be influenced by participants’ generally healthy baseline mood and quality of life, as well as minimal weight loss achieved (3.5% for TRE only).
| PICO | Description |
|---|---|
| Population | Adults diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, with baseline mood and quality of life within healthy ranges. |
| Intervention | Time-restricted eating (TRE) or daily calorie restriction (CR). |
| Comparison | Control group with usual lifestyle practices. |
| Outcome | No significant changes in mood or quality of life were observed between groups. Minimal weight loss (3.5% in TRE group) may partially explain the lack of effect, as well as healthy baseline mood and quality of life scores. |
