Chrononutrition is a branch of chronobiology that evaluates nutrients and the pathways implicated in their regulation in accordance with circadian rhythms. Sleep deprivation and disturbances have been strongly associated with the progression of different metabolic alterations, and the time of food intake plays a fundamental role in maintaining metabolic homeostasis. It has been demonstrated that not only the components of food are important, but quantity and quality are also crucial elements of a healthy eating pattern. Chrononutrition is an emerging tool that could help improve dietary interventions beyond those derived from consuming an adequate amount of each nutrient. Diabetes is a complex endocrine pathology characterized by sustained hyperglycemia. Dietary changes are a key component in obtaining adequate control and preventing long-term complications. Recent studies emphasize the use of chrononutrition and its components as a novel dietary intervention that could improve metabolic control. The use of chrononutrition as a dietary intervention is faced with challenges such as the presence of gaps in the literature that limit its implementation. This emphasizes the imperative need for additional research that can lead to an evidence-based use of this intervention. (Rev Invest Clin. 2024;76(2):80-90)
