About this study

This study tested the effects of resistant starch type 4 on blood sugar and hunger in young adults with Type 2 diabetes.

Read the detailed description

To measure the blood glucose response, after an overnight fast, blood samples were collected before eating and at 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, and 120 minutes after each each bar. The incremental area under the curve was used to calculate the glycemic index and insulin sensitivity via minimal model.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Post-Prandial Metabolism (time frame: Early morning). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 Jun 2008.
