Trial summary

A carbohydrate adjusted liquid formula (Inslow) using palatinose as the major carbohydrate (>50%) was devised. Consumption Inslow for a long term (3-5 months) is reported to improve glycemic control by reducing the postprandial plasma glucose levels in diabetes and impaired glucose-tolerant subjects (IGT).

About this study

Official title: Increased Insulinogenic Indexes Following Liquid Food (Inslow) Intake in Impaired Glucose Tolerance and Type-2 Diabetic Subjects.

A carbohydrate adjusted liquid formula (Inslow) using palatinose as the major carbohydrate (>50%) was devised. Consumption Inslow for a long term (3-5 months) is reported to improve glycemic control by reducing the postprandial plasma glucose levels in diabetes and impaired glucose-tolerant subjects (IGT). The present study intends to understand the mechanism on postprandial glycemic responses.

Read the detailed description

The test enteral nutrition formula (Inslow) and the standard balanced formula (Meibalance) were administered in a randomized crossover design to 11 healthy people, 13 IGT and 12 type-2 diabetes, judged by the postprandial state after in taking the two test meals in a random order with a washout period of one week. On the day prior to the test day, subjects were asked to stay at the same facility and to take the same supper with 450 kcal controlled, after 21:00 with only water allowed as ad libitum and not do any exercise. Each participant was taken a fasting blood sample, and then requested to consume one of is energetic test meals (200 kcal per serving) Inslow or standard balanced formula at 7:00 AM. Subsequent blood samples were collected at 30,60,90,and 120 min after meal consumption. The plasma concentrations of glucose, insulin, and free fatty acids were measured for each blood sample. Plasma glucose was measured by hexokinase method, plasma insulin by serum radioimmunoassay method and plasma free fatty acid by enzyme chemical method.Routine blood test and biochemical test were performed using the same blood sample only at fasting stage,including RBC, WBC, TP, ALP, T-Cho, etc., to confirm the status of each subject. Collected blood was applied to analyses at Shanghai Meizhong Clinical Measurement Centre. The enteral nutrition meal Inslow was designed by palatinose, dextrin and fiber as carbohydrate for 56%,23% and 15%, respectively. The standard balanced meal was included dextrin as the main carbohydrate for 85%, together with sugar and fiber.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Inslow and standard balanced formula in people with Diabetes, run by Shanghai Meiji Health Science and Technology Co., Ltd..

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 29 Dec 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

plasma glucose concentration (time frame: 2 weeks). 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 29 Dec 2015.
