About this study

This study aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of increased protein ingestion, particularly when coupled with a low glycaemic index (GI) to reduce biomarkers related to high risk of diabetes.

Read the detailed description

A randomized cross-over study and subjects will be randomized to take either the high GI or low GI meal. The sequence of the meal will be generated using an online randomiser generator.During screening administer informed consent.Measure height, weight, waist and hip circumference.Blood draw: Two fingerpricks, 5 minutes apart. 1 X 10ml red tube top to prepare serum. Serum and red platelets into separate microtubes. Serum will be used to analyse fasting blood glucose, lipid profile, C-Reactive Protein (CPR), insulin and apolipoprotein. Red platelets will be stored separately for DNA genotyping. During the study visits,On Day 1, subjects will come to the Centre at around 4:00 pm to have the continuous glucose monitoring (CGMS) system inserted. CGMS will be used to measure 24 hour blood glucose concentrations. The sensor records interstitial blood glucose concentrations every five minutes. This will involve the insertion of a small sensor under the skin in the abdomen, which will be carried out by using a device that produces minimal pain and discomfort.Subjects will have to wait in the laboratory for one hour after insertion for the sensor to be stabilized. After one hour the inserted CGMS sensor will be calibrated against a manual finger-prick blood glucose sample.Manual calibration using finger-prick blood samples will need to be carried out before every meal and before bed in the night. The calibrations before dinner and bed will have to be carried out by the subjects at home.Therefore, the subjects will be provided with a finger-prick blood glucose test kit to take home and instructed on how to correctly use it and measure blood glucose values. Subjects will then consume the standardised dinner at around 7pm.Subjects will be asked to fast overnight and instructed to avoid eating or drinking anything, except water, after 10pm. Subjects will arrived between 8.00am and 8.30am the following morning. Baseline blood samples will be collected. A venous cannula will be inserted and a fasting blood sample collected. Baseline basal metabolic rate will be measured using hood-ventilated indirect calorimetry for 30mins during fasting. Subjects will then consume the test meal. Further venous blood samples will be collected at regular intervals for up to 4hours postprandial. After meal, subjects will enter the hood-ventilated indirect calorimetry and measure post-prandial respiratory quotient for 4 hours. A medium GI lunch will then be provided and the subject can either stay in the centre or return to the centre 4 hours after lunch to remove the CGMS.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing High Glycemic Index and Low Glycemic Index in people with Pre Diabetes, run by Singapore Institute of Food and Biotechnology Innovation 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 3 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 12 Oct 2018. 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?

Glycemic response (time frame: up to 8 hours). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03309254, 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 12 Oct 2018.
