About this study

The aim of the current study was to compare the effects of three ready-to-eat mixed meals, with a high fiber content and low glycemic index, on postprandial glycemic and insulinemic response in patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Read the detailed description

The current study followed a prospective, three-way, cross-over design. Twenty four patients with T2DM consumed three ready-to-eat mixed meals, i.e. "wild greens pie" (meal 1), "chicken burgers with boiled vegetables" (meal 2) and "vegetable moussaka" (meal 3) and an oral glucose load, all providing 50g of carbohydrates. Venous blood was collected at 0, 30, 60, 90 and 120 minutes postprandial for serum glucose and insulin measurements.

The test meals were consumed by study participants between 8:30 to 9:00 am and within 10-15 minutes under a researcher's supervision, following collection of the fasting blood sample. No parallel fluid intake was allowed. The portion size in the case of each one of the three test meals was adjusted to contain 50g of carbohydrates. However, the three test meals were considerably differentiating among them with respect to their content in calories and the remaining macronutrients.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. serum glucose changes over time

    Measured: fasting baseline glucose at time 0, then 30, 60, 90, and 120 minutes postprandial

  2. serum insulin changes over time

    Measured: fasting baseline insulin at time 0, then 30, 60, 90, and 120 minutes postprandial

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing ready to eat mixed meal 1, ready to eat mixed meal 2 and ready to eat mixed meal 3 in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by Harokopio University at 1 site in Greece.

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 3 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 7 Sep 2015. 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 Greece. 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?

serum glucose changes over time (time frame: fasting baseline glucose at time 0, then 30, 60, 90, and 120 minutes postprandial). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 7 Sep 2015.
