PLAIN-LANGUAGE SUMMARY
What it found
The eating-window group lost weight compared with control. HbA1c fell similarly with time restriction and calorie restriction; neither clearly outperformed the other for HbA1c.
Keep these limits in view
The study was small and conducted at one center with clinical oversight. Its medication management cannot be replaced by an app or a self-directed fasting plan.
