Abstract

Summary

This research protocol examines whether morning light therapy delivered at home can improve glucose metabolism in individuals at elevated risk for type 2 diabetes, suggesting a circadian-mediated pathway between light exposure timing and metabolic outcomes. For lighting designers and healthcare practitioners, this underscores the potential of timed, structured morning light environments as a non-pharmacological tool for metabolic health management.
