Hyperglycemia, Diabetes, and Obesity Clinical Trial
Official title:
Effects of Resistant Starch in a Baked Snack Bar on a Post-prandial Glycemic and Insulinemic Response
- 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 baked snack bar with a resistant starch will blunt and sustain the
post-prandial rise in blood glucose and insulin concentrations compared to a baked snack
bar with maltodextrin (an easily digested carbohydrate).
