During a debate at the American Diabetes Association Scientific Sessions, one expert said that eating earlier in the day may yield more cardiometabolic benefit for adults than eating later.
Another expert said that some studies have shown the timing of time-restricted eating is not associated with differences in cardiometabolic metrics, and a later eating window may lead to better time-restricted eating adherence. It was the top story in endocrinology last week.
The second top story was about the FDA’s approval of the first allogenic pancreatic islet cellular therapy for adults with type 1 diabetes. The approval was based on results of two single-arm trials in which 21 of 30 adults receiving the therapy achieved insulin independence for at least 1 year.
