Brief Summary
This is a clinical trial to assess how time-restricted eating (TRE) may improve kidney health and filtration patients with type 2 diabetes and increased protein content in their urine. All participants will be participating in TRE in which they follow a consistent 8-10 hour eating window everyday.

Study Arms (1)
Time Restricted Eating (TRE) Group
EXPERIMENTALParticipants will limit the number of hours they eat in a dat to an 8-10 window and will also receive the standard heath and nutritional wellness guidelines. They will also be required to log food entries through the use of a smartphone app. Patients will also be required to wear a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) for the first and last two weeks of the 14 trial.
Interventions
Participants in the TRE group with continue to follow their physicians treatment plan for type II diabetes mellitus and consume all of their food within an 8-10 hour eating window.
