NCT00822367 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 19

Last updated 2009-01-14

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of the study is to determine which of the commonly used meal supplements is the best product for patients with DM. This is important because meal supplements are becoming more popular as meal replacements in the United States. Peak blood sugar occurs about 2 hours later after a meal. Therefore, the best product would be the one that produces a smallest rise in blood sugar.

Conditions

  • Diabetes Mellitus Type 2

Interventions

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Glucerna; Ensure; SlimFast

Each participant will consume all three nutritional supplements randomly assigned by computer program to drink one of the three products in one week intervals. Each product will contain 50 grams of carbohydrate but differs in volume, fat, protein, and fiber composition. BG will be tested by finger sticks before (fasting) and at 15, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150 and 180 minutes after drinking the supplement. The participants will have 8 finger stick blood sugar measurements over about 3 hours on each of the 3 testing days.
