Summary

Modern life is characterized by a 24-hour lifestyle in which food intake is no longer restricted to daytime. As a result, people nowadays tend to eat throughout the day. When food is being consumed the energy is both used and stored for later use. Eating for a prolonged period of time makes it unnecessary for the body to use its energy storage. It is hypothesized that the decreased use of energy stores has detrimental effects on our sugar balance, mainly on insulin sensitivity. Conversely, eating within a limited period during the day could improve insulin sensitivity in people with type 2 diabetes by an increased use of energy reserves, specifically liver sugar stores. Therefore, this study examines the effect of eating within a limited time frame during the day on insulin sensitivity and liver sugar stores of people with type 2 diabetes.
