Clinical Trial Summary

To evaluate the effect of onyx sorghum on blood glucose levels in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM).

Description:

The plan is to study 24 participants with T2DM, who are otherwise healthy. The study will be double-blinded and randomized. Participants will first attend a screening visit (Visit #1) to determine eligibility. Then, eligible participants will be asked to wear a FreeStyle Libre Pro continuous glucose monitor (CGM) for up to 14 days (Visit #2). After this 14-day CGM session, participants will be randomly assigned (1:1) to one of two groups that will receive: 1) food products containing onyx sorghum (Onyx Group) or 2) food products with wheat flour (Control Group). The diet intervention will last a total of 28 days. Participants will have weekly visits to pick up food and bi-weekly blood draws (no more than 20mL at each visit). They will also be asked to wear the CGM throughout the diet intervention and will record their food intake in a daily food diary to confirm that the diet intervention is being followed.

Intervention

Dietary Supplement:
• onyx sorghum
The diet intervention will last a total of 28 days. Per the American Heart Association (AHA) and American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommendations, the daily diet plan will consist of 50-55% carbohydrate, 15-20% protein, and 25-30% fat. In the Onyx Group, 25% of carbohydrate will come from the onyx sorghum, and at least three foods per day (including cereals, bread, muffins, pasta, and smoothie boosters) will contain this.
• whole wheat flour
Per the American Heart Association (AHA) and American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommendations, the daily diet plan will consist of 50-55% carbohydrate, 15-20% protein, and 25-30% fat.
