Hyperglycemia, Diabetes, and Obesity Clinical Trial
Official title:
Effects of Resistant Starch in a Beverage on Post-prandial Glycemic and Insulinemic Responses
Hypothesis: A beverage with a resistant starch will blunt and sustain the post-prandial rise in blood glucose and insulin concentrations compared to beverage with maltodextrin (an easily digested carbohydrate).
- About two-thirds of adults in the United States are overweight or obese which can cause
adverse health consequences for those individuals. Post-prandial hyperglycemia is one of
these possible consequences and is associated with a higher risk for Type 2 Diabetes.
Controlling hyperglycemia is important in the prevention of the onset of diabetes and
obesity. Resistant starch is a dietary carbohydrate which is not completely digested in
the gut and produces energy for the body to use. The investigators are interested in
assessing the effects of resistant starch on postprandial blood glucose and insulin
concentrations.
- Aim: To assess the effects of a resistant starch on post-prandial blood glucose and
insulin concentrations.
- Hypothesis: A beverage with a resistant starch will blunt and sustain the post-prandial
rise in blood glucose and insulin concentrations compared to a beverage with
maltodextrin (an easily digested carbohydrate).
