Summary

This trial will test whether following a set of stable lifestyle behaviors can help improve glucose control and body composition in patients with pre-diabetes.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 35 or older with prediabetes, defined by specific blood sugar levels (hemoglobin A1c between 5.7-6.4%). Participants should have a BMI of 25-39.9 and sleep at least 6 hours nightly. Excluded are those with cardiovascular disease, certain kidney conditions, sleep apnea, recent weight loss programs, severe lipid problems, shift workers, substance abuse history, uncontrolled high blood pressure or psychiatric disorders.
What is being tested?
The study tests whether having a fixed schedule for daily activities can improve blood sugar control and body composition in people with prediabetes. It aims to see if stable lifestyle patterns reduce liver fat and help manage glucose levels better than variable lifestyles.
What are the potential side effects?
Since the intervention involves lifestyle adjustments rather than medication or medical procedures, side effects may include discomfort from changes in routine but no direct medical side effects are expected.
