About this study

Official title: The Effect of Adding Milk in Proximity to Exercise During an Interval Training Intervention in Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) on Metabolic and Cardiovascular Health.

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether combining interval training with skim milk supplementation will result in improved glucose control and markers of cardiovascular health in people with type 2 diabetes. Participants will complete supervised interval training three times a week over a 12 week training period while consuming skim-milk, whey/casein protein drink, or a placebo beverage that does not contain any calories or vitamins/minerals immediately and 1 hour after each training session. After twelve weeks participants will repeat baseline tests to examine any effects of the intervention on their glucose control, fitness, blood vessel function, body composition, and blood markers of inflammation.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Skim MilkDietary supplement

    Also called Fat-free milk

    250 ml skim milk will be consumed by participants immediately and 1 hour after each of the 36 sessions of high-intensity interval training over a 12 week period.

  • High intensity interval trainingBehavioural

    All participants will undergo a 12 week high intensity interval training program consisting of 3 supervised sessions a week of 4-10 x 1 min high intensity interval alternating with 1 min of recovery.

  • PlaceboOther

    Also called water

    250 mL water will be consumed by participants immediately and 1 hour after each of the 36 sessions of high-intensity interval training over a 12 week period.

  • Macronutrient isoenergetic controlDietary supplement

    Also called Protein

    250 mL of protein+cho matched drink will be consumed by participants immediately and 1 hour after each of the 36 sessions of high-intensity interval training over a 12 week period.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 12.

  2. Change from baseline in fasting plasma glucose concentration at end of week 12 of intervention.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 12.

  3. Change from baseline in fasting plasma insulin concentration at end of week 12 of intervention.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 12.

  4. Change from baseline in flow mediated dilation of brachial artery at end of week 12 of intervention.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 12.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Skim Milk and High intensity interval training in people with Type 2 Diabetes, run by University of British Columbia at 1 site in Canada.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 May 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Canada. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

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?

Change from baseline in glycemic control assessed by continuous glucose monitoring at end of week 12 of intervention (time frame: Baseline, Week 12.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02251301, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 May 2017.
