AIMS: Time-restricted eating (TRE) is a chrono-nutrition strategy where the daily 'eating window' is reduced to 8-10h. We investigated the acute (14-h) effects of TRE, with and without post-meal exercise, on blood glucose and insulin concentrations in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus. METHODS: Fourteen participants (5F, 9M; HbA1c: 7.6 +/- 1.0%) completed four conditions in this randomised crossover study: CON (eating window, 0800 to 2000h), CON with exercise (CON plus Ex; 0800 to 2000h +15min walking at 60%VO2peak, 45min post-meal), TRE (eating window 1000 to 1800h), and TRE with exercise (TRE plus Ex, 1000 to 1800h +15min walking as per CON plus Ex), with standardised meals. Venous blood samples were collected at 26-timepoints and analysed for glucose and insulin concentrations. Statistical analysis used linear mixed-effects models with p < 0.05. RESULTS: Reducing the eating window had little effect on plasma glucose 14-h Area under the curve (AUC). Exercise reduced insulin 14-h AUC (p = 0.01) with no additive effect of TRE. CONCLUSION: Post-meal exercise lowered 14-h insulin AUC, neither 8-h TRE nor post-meal exercise altered 14-h blood glucose compared with 12-h eating window. Future work should focus on long-term effects of TRE combined with exercise for enhancing blood glucose in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
