Differences in Postprandial Glucose Changes

A study testing Shake 1 then Shake 2 and Shake 2 then Shake 1 in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type II and Overweight or Obesity, run by The University of The West Indies.

Unknown status

Trial summary

Following a meal, in nondiabetic individuals, blood glucose rises to peak at 1hr and returns to baseline in 2 - 3 hours. In T2DM, this peak is higher and prolonged. Meal plans for persons with T2DM should comprise evenly spaced, complex carbohydrate portions in order to avoid post-prandial glucose spikes. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: An Intervention Comparing Changes in the Plasma Glucose Profile Over a Three-hour Timespan in Persons With T2DM Following Caribbean Shake vs Glucerna Intake: A Double Blinded, Cross-over Design

Following a meal, in nondiabetic individuals, blood glucose rises to peak at 1hr and returns to baseline in 2 - 3 hours. In T2DM, this peak is higher and prolonged. Meal plans for persons with T2DM should comprise evenly spaced, complex carbohydrate portions in order to avoid post-prandial glucose spikes. Researchers have developed an expanded line of Caribbean-flavoured, low-calorie meal-replacement shakes which have been formulated to match the macronutrient and caloric content of a commercially available brand. In this trial investigators aim to (1) examine the change in glucose levels post intake of Caribbean vs the commercially available brand and (2) to conduct a comparative sensory analysis of the two shakes.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Shake 1 then Shake 2ExperimentalParticipants will consume 1 bottle of shake 1 and take their normal morning medications. After this 3ml blood samples will be taken via the cannula at 30mins, 60mins and 120 mins post meal. During the waiting period between phlebotomy, a sensory analysis questionnaire which asks participants to rate the taste, appearance, texture and smell of the product. After a 1-week washout period, the entire protocol will be repeated using Shake 2.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in plasma glucose concentration post oral intake of shake

    Measured: 30 minutes, 60 minutes and 120 minutes post oral intake of shake

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Sensory analysis of taste, texture, smell and appearance of shakes

    measured on a 5-point hedonic scale

    Measured: within 1hour post oral intake of shake

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Shake 1 then Shake 2 and Shake 2 then Shake 1 in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type II and Overweight or Obesity, run by The University of The West Indies.

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 2 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Jul 2023. 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. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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 glucose concentration post oral intake of shake (time frame: 30 minutes, 60 minutes and 120 minutes post oral intake of shake). 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 24 Jul 2023.
