What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Standard formula | Participants receiving intact protein lactose-based formula, exclusively for at least 3 months. | |
| Sensitive | Participants receiving intact protein glucose/sucrose- based formula, exclusively for at least 3 months. |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
mean change in blood glucose
change in blood glucose from fasting to 1 hour post glucose challenge
Measured: baseline to 1 hour
Secondary outcomes (1)
mean endogenous insulin secretion
change in mean insulin collected at baseline and 1 hour post glucose challenge
Measured: baseline to 1 hour
