Clinical Trial Summary

Diet is the cornerstone treatment to manage blood sugar in people with Type 2 Diabetes (T2D). Fibres like guar gum and protein are macronutrients that have an effect in blood sugar levels. Mycoprotein is a fungi-based food high in both dietary fibre and protein shown to have a role in regulating blood sugar levels in healthy. However, little is known about the effects of mycoprotein on blood sugar levels in people with T2D. We are interested in South Asian because they have a different blood sugar response to the same food than a Caucasian.

The main aims of the study is to assess:

- The effect of mycoprotein in different formats (soup or mince) in blood sugar levels and appetite in South Asian and Caucasian with Type 2 Diabetes.

- The effect of the combination of mycoprotein with guar gum in different formats (soup or mince) in blood sugar levels and appetite in South Asian and Caucasian with T2D.


Clinical Trial Description

This is a double-blind crossover RCT. A total of 48 participants (24 Caucasian and 24 South Asian) with T2D and non insulin treated will be recruited. Participant will be randomly allocated to one of these two groups:

Group 1: Test food in form of soup and Group 2: Test food in form of mince. Once allocated in one of the groups, participant will consume in a random order 6 different test foods (soy, chicken, mycoprotein with and without guar gum) in a determined format (either as in soup or mince). ;
