About this study

The aim of the study is to describe the glycemic, insulinemic and appetitive responses to liquid and solid foods where either soluble fiber or maltodextrin are used as the carbohydrate substrate.

Read the detailed description

Asia has the unenviable reputation as being the epicenter for type 2 diabetes. The Asian phenotype has been shown to be most susceptible to diabetes than Caucasians. More importantly, the transition from prediabetes to diabetes is more drastic and severe in Asians. The glycemic index (GI) was first introduced in 1981 as a classification of the blood glucose raising potential of carbohydrate foods. There is substantial evidence suggesting that consumption of low glycemic index (GI) foods minimize blood glucose fluctuations, and help in the prevention and management of diabetes and prediabetes. Given the rising incidence of prediabetes and diabetes in Asia, dietary interventions to complement pharmacological management of diabetes are increasingly being encouraged. The majority of studies on GI and Glycemic Response (GR) have been conducted on Caucasian populations. Asians have been shown to have a greater GR to the same food compared to Caucasians. Simple dietary modification such as increasing dietary fiber in a food has been shown to reduce GR. However, it is unclear if a palatable, low-viscous, soluble fiber and maltodextrin have comparable effect. Although viscous insoluble fiber has been shown to also suppress appetite, it was unclear if similar effects could be obtained when it is replaced with soluble fiber. Using the continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS), Henry and his colleagues have demonstrated that exchanging high-GI bread with a low-GI bread could improve the 24h glucose profile. More recently investigators have shown, using the CGMS, that the consumption of a low GI breakfast and afternoon snack was capable of attenuating 24-hour blood glucose profiles, minimizing glycemic excursions and reducing food intake in healthy Asian males. These simple dietary interventions appear to be an acceptable approach in improving overall glycemia and energy balance in Asians.

    Measured: up to 180 minutes

  2. Change in plasma blood insulin from fasting baseline value (Time Frame: Up to 180 minutes).

    Blood plasma insulin measured at 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, 150 and 180mins after meal ingestion.

    Measured: up to 180 minutes

Secondary outcomes (1)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Soluble corn fiber and maltodextrin in people with Pre Diabetes and Obesity, run by JeyaKumar Henry at 1 site in Singapore.

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 5 inclusion and 16 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 20 Aug 2021. 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 Singapore. 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?

Change in plasma blood glucose from fasting baseline value (Time Frame: Up to 180 minutes). (time frame: up to 180 minutes). 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 20 Aug 2021.
