Trial summary

Many studies have reported that alcoholic beverage consumption, especially in the form of wine, reduces the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by as much as 40%. This association suggests that wine consumption may somehow improve the body's ability to control its blood glucose concentration. Read more about this study

About this study

Many studies have reported that alcoholic beverage consumption, especially in the form of wine, reduces the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by as much as 40%. This association suggests that wine consumption may somehow improve the body's ability to control its blood glucose concentration. Indeed, it has been reported that when wine is consumed immediately prior to ingestion of glucose, the release of insulin is enhanced and blood glucose concentration is lowered. The mechanism of wine's effects on blood glucose concentration is unknown, but is likely related to its ethanol or antioxidant content. In this study, the investigators plan to test whether wine or plain ethanol (vodka) ingestion alters the control of blood glucose in subjects who have diabetes or pre-diabetes.

Read the detailed description

Our central hypothesis is that improvement in glycemic control by acute consumption of wine is mediated by ethanol. Subjects will have type 2 diabetes, pre-diabetes, and be sedentary and obese (BMI >30). Subjects' glycemic control will be assessed by an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) at three different time points. One OGTT will occur shortly after consumption of red wine, the second after consumption of vodka containing the identical amount of ethanol as the wine treatment, and the third OGTT will occur shortly after consumption of an equal volume of water. The three OGTTs will be administered in random order.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Alcohol consumption in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by University of Missouri-Columbia at 1 site in United States.

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 4 inclusion and 7 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 26 Oct 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 United States. 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. 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?

Oral glucose tolerance test (time frame: 3 weeks). 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 NCT02518334, 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 26 Oct 2017.
