Blood Glucose Differences Between Left Arm and Right Arm Using a Continuous Glucose Monitor

NCT04102657 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 46

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Interest in continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) is growing for use in evaluating real time glucose levels and in detecting extreme high and low values. A CGM is a small device primarily placed on the patient's upper arm or abdomen to measure glucose at frequent time intervals. While the accuracy of these devices is researched extensively, there are no large-scale studies evaluating the differences in the right and left arm in terms of device placement. In addition, intermittent fasting has gained popularity due to potential health benefits including reductions in weight, cholesterol, and blood glucose. However, there remains a shortage of studies researching the effect of short-term intermittent fasting on body fat.

The purpose of this study is to see if there is a difference between glucose levels in the right arm and left arm and to examine if short-term intermittent fasting may impact an individual's body fat percentage.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Intermittent Fasting

Participants will be instructed to limit their daily food consumption to an 8-hour period in the day of their choosing. For the 16-hour fasting period, subjects are to eliminate caloric intake.

OTHER

Free-Living Diet

Participants will maintain their current daily food consumption with no caloric restriction. Patient must not have participated in a specialized diet or weight loss program within 2 weeks of enrollment.

OTHER

Left Arm Exercise

Participants will complete a 20-minute period of rest followed by a 20-minute unilateral arm exercise on the left arm. In the middle of the study, participants will switch to the right arm to complete their unilateral arm exercises.

OTHER

Right Arm Exercise

Participants will complete a 20-minute period of rest followed by a 20-minute unilateral arm exercise on the right arm. In the middle of the study, participants will switch to the left arm to complete their unilateral arm exercises.
