Pre-diabetes and overweight.

With focus on prevention of type 2 diabetes among individuals at high risk of developing the disease.

Circadian rhythm and incretin hormones.

In my work I focus on the role of circadian rhythm, especially the length of overnight fasting, on the incretin hormone response to glucose.

The overall focus of my current research is on pre-diabetes and circadian rhythm. Where I am investigating whether gut incretin hormone release is related to 1) fasting duration, time of day and time of year, 2) circadian eating patterns, and 3) changes in circadian eating patterns (TRF).

Utilizing data from the ADDITION-PRO study to examine associations of fasting duration, weekday and season with glucose-stimulated incretin response (GLP-1 and GIP) in individuals at low to high risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. In the ongoing PRE-D trial I am investigating the stability of circadian eating rhythms and how these are associated with incretin hormone response. Lastly I am part of the RESET trial research group, were we are currently in the planning phase of the trial.
