A low-glucose eating pattern is associated with improvements in glycemic variability among women at risk for postmenopausal breast cancer: an exploratory analysis

High glycemic variability (GV) is a biomarker of cancer risk, even in the absence of diabetes. The emerging concept of chrononutrition suggests that modifying meal timing can favorably impact metabolic risk factors linked to diet-related chronic disease, including breast cancer. Here, we examined the potential of eating when glucose levels are near personalized fasting thresholds (low-glucose eating, LGE), a novel form of timed-eating, to reduce GV in women without diabetes, who are at risk for postmenopausal breast cancer.
