This study is looking at how time-restricted eating (TRE) might help people with type 2 diabetes who have microalbuminuria (increased protein in their urine). Microalbuminuria can be an early sign of kidney problems. Participants will follow their doctor's treatment plan for diabetes and eat all their food within an 8-10 hour window each day. The study aims to see if this eating pattern can reduce the amount of protein in the urine, measured by a test called urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (uACR). You may be able to join if you are 18-75 years old, have type 2 diabetes with a specific A1c range, and have a uACR result between 30-300 mg. You also need to be willing to use a smartphone for study procedures. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status and plans to enroll 25 people.

Study design

This is a single-arm study, meaning all 25 participants will receive the time-restricted eating intervention. It will last for twelve weeks.

What's involved

You will follow a consistent 8-10 hour eating window daily and use a smartphone for research procedures. Your urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (uACR) will be measured at the beginning and after 3 months.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

Your urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (uACR) will be measured at 3 months, which is the end of the intervention period.
