Data displayed as Mean (SD) and Mean (95% Confidence Interval) for delta values. Paired t-tests were used to assess within-group changes and Mixed ANOVAs were used to assess changes between TRE and SOC (time x group) with age as a covariate. N=54 per group for all outcomes except for the CGM measurements: TRE n=52, SOC n= 53. There was no pattern of missingness between groups (Supplemental Table 2). TRE = time-restricted eating, SOC = standard of care, HbA1c = hemoglobin A1c (glycated hemoglobin), HOMA-IR = homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance, CGM = continuous glucose monitor, GMI = glucose management indicator (short-term CGM estimate of HbA1c), CONGA = continuous overall net glycemic action, A.U. = arbitrary units, MODD = mean of daily differences.
