Summary

The goal of this trial is to test the effect of house cricket (Acheta domesticus) preload on glycemic response in diabetic patients. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: whether house cricket powder could lower blood glucose spike and stimulate higher insulin response. Participants will consume either house cricket powder, whey protein isolate or placebo which will be mixed with a chicken-flavored soup. Participants fingers will be pricked for up to 2 hours.

Researcher will compare house cricket powder with placebo to see if the glycemic response is better in house cricket supplemented group.

Researcher will compare house cricket powder with whey protein isolate to see if both supplement induce comparable glycemic response.
