Filter by:The study is a parallel, double blind, controlled trial in which study participants will receive a 12-week intervention with 3.6 g/d dried bitter-gourd supplements or a reference intervention with 3.6 g/d dried cucumber supplements. Research subjects will come to the research facility for a test day on four occasions, with an interval of 4 weeks. The main study parameter is fasting levels of plasma glucose.
The study purpose is to determine the effect of eating three (3) different pasta flour formulations made from 100% black beans (Zenith) in a meal matrix (spaghetti sauce) on postprandial glycemic response in healthy adults.
Postprandial hyperglycemia or rapid rise in blood glucose is defined as a blood glucose level>7.8 mmol/L (140 mg/dL) 1- 2 hours after consumption of food. It is associated to the development of diabetes among healthy individuals and a risk factor for the onset and progression of microvascular and macrovascular complications among diabetic patients. In Ramadan, postprandial hyperglycemia is often observed after the iftar (fasting break after sunset). The frequency of eating normally decreases during Ramadan, however, the energy intake remains questionable because dietary practices during Ramadan are influenced by local culture, economic status and individual dietary behaviors. In many Muslim societies including Malaysia, Ramadan has known as a month of feasting. Iftar meals are typically high calorie, carbohydrate-rich and usually sweet food resulting in rapid rise in glucose after the meal. This poses a challenge for the people with diabetes to manage their glucose level. D-allulose (a C-3 epimer of D-fructose) is a rare sugar and reported to have several health benefits, such as suppressing a rise in postprandial glucose levels. There is still a scarcity of research on patients with diabetes. As a result, the current clinical study sought to investigate the effect of supplemental D-allulose on participants with type 2 diabetes who consume real-meal calories during Ramadan iftar.
This study aims to assess the impact of speed of consumption of two starch-based foods varying in fibre content on blood glucose levels in normal healthy subjects. Furthermore, the mediating roles of salivary amylase and particle size on blood glucose levels will be studied. The study has a randomized cross-over design. Subjects consume two test-lunches (chick peas and brown rice) in duplicate on 8 different test days, at either long or short chewing duration. Glucose responses will be monitored via a continuous glucose monitoring device and expectorated boluses will be collected during each test day for assessments of amylase activity and food particle size.
Background and aim: Diabetes mellitus as a chronic disease is on rise on parallel with diseases. Magnesium (Mg) supplementation may help control glycemic response among type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients. We aim to present an overview of the possible influence of drinking water in general and mineral water in particular in improving glycemic parameters in persons with type 2 diabetes. Method: A randomized double blind controlled clinical trial will be conducted at the Endocrine clinic (KFHU) on 900 of patients with T2DM. All subjects participated in this study will be randomly allotted into three groups (each group N=300) to which the three waters were supplied in similar bottles marked A "tap water", B "bottle water" and C "control without any intervention". Blood samples will be taken before and after the intervention to determine the serum concentration of magnesium, Calcium, Vit D, creatinine, FBS, serum Ca, HbA1c, fasting C-peptide levels, fasting insulin levels and insulin sensitivity. Magnesium and calcium levels in urine will be expressed as the creatinine ratio
Studies suggest that the timing interval between oral intake and the 1-hour gestational diabetes screen may have a significant impact on gestational diabetes screening glucose levels. The investigators plan to conduct a prospective randomized trial comparing a 6-hour fast versus liberal oral intake within 2 hours prior to the glucose tolerance test in pregnancy in order to evaluate the effect of the fasting versus the fed state on routine gestational diabetes screening results.
The purpose of this study is to determine the glucose response of complementary feeding regimens consisting of two different follow-up formulas (FUFs) and infant cereals (ICs).
DIA-LINK2 is a prospective observational study analysing longitudinal associations and mediating links between diabetes distress (DD), depressive symptoms (DS) and glycaemic outcomes in people with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). A total of 200 people with T2DM with different levels of DD and DS are to be enrolled. At baseline, all participants are assessed for DD and DS, psychological and stress-related variables, self-reported self-management, HbA1c and inflammatory markers. This is followed by a 4-week ambulatory assessment period including continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), continuous activity tracking and daily event sampling regarding sleep, stress levels, mood and diabetes-related issues; additionally, cortisol levels are assessed on four days within this period. Three months after baseline, a follow-up assessment covers DD and DS levels, stress-related variables, self-reported self-management, HbA1c and final CGM assessment. The analyses aim to establish risk factors/protective factors regarding DD and DS, their relative impact on glycaemic outcomes and potential mediation of the associations by behavioural (e.g. self-management, physical activity), physical (e.g. heart rate variability, inflammatory activity) and mental variables (subjective stress level) in T2DM.
The investigators followed a convenience sample of 114 overweight and obese subjects from a weight loss clinic who followed a 24-week dietary intervention. The subjects self-selected whether to follow a standardized ketogenic diet (n=53), or a personalised low-glycemic index (GI) diet utilising information from 28 single nucleotide polymorphisms (n=61). After the 24-week study period, the subjects were monitored for an additional 18 months.
The composition of a food or a meal consumed plays an important role in the rate of postprandial endocrine and metabolic response, especially if high in fats, sugars and total energy content and a reduction in its entity is related to beneficial effects towards the prevention of several chronical diseases. The physiological postprandial response depends on several factors, both intrinsic, such as natural characteristic of food, and extrinsic, such as the way in which food is processed. This study aims at investigating postprandial hormonal, metabolic, oxidative stress, inflammation and endotoxaemia responses after the consumption of different commercial confectionary products made with different reformulation (ingredients and/or processing techniques).The principal scope of the study is to evaluate the impact of the reformulation of different snacks on postprandial responses. The investigators therefore designed a randomized controlled crossover trial, in which 15 healthy volunteers will consume different isocaloric confectionary products (snacks) and their related reformulation (total products number = 6) and a reference snack. Venous blood samples will be collected until 4-h after meal consumption. In order to evaluate postprandial hormonal, metabolic, oxidative stress, inflammation and endotoxaemia responses several markers will be evaluate: - metabolic substrates: glucose; Triglycerides and NEFA; - hormones: insulin; c-peptide; GLP-1, GIP, leptin, ghrelin, PYY; - markers of inflammation: IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-17, TNF-α, hsCRP, MCP-1; - markers of oxidative stress and antioxidant capacity: GSH, FRAP; - endotoxaemia: lipopolysaccharides (LPS). These results will contribute to a detailed evaluation of the effects of reformulation on physiological events after meal consumption, leading to clarify if these variations in ingredients and/or processing techniques can modify postprandial responses, making them more similar to those originated from the reference snack.
