Abstract:
This study examined the relationship between lifestyles (diet, sleep, and physical activity) and glucose responses at a personal level. 36 healthy adults in the Bay Area were monitored for their lifestyles and glucose levels using wearables and continuous glucose monitoring (NCT03919877). Gold-standard metabolic tests were conducted to phenotype metabolic characteristics. Through the lifestyle data (2,307 meals, 1,809 nights, and 2,447 days) and 231,206 CGM readings from metabolically-phenotyped individuals with normoglycemia or prediabetes, we found: 1) eating timing was associated with hyperglycemia, muscle insulin resistance (IR), and incretin dysfunction, whereas nutrient intakes were not; 2) timing of increased activity in muscle IS and IR participants was associated with differential benefits of glucose control; 3) Integrated ML models using lifestyle factors predicted distinct metabolic characteristics (muscle, adipose IR or incretin dysfunction). Our data indicate the differential impact of lifestyles on glucose regulation among individuals with different metabolic phenotypes, highlighting the value of personalized lifestyle modifications.
