The Impact of Nutrient Sequence on Glycemic Excursions in Type 2 Diabetes Assessed by Continuous Glucose Monitoring

Clinical Trial Details

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of nutrient sequencing on blood glucose levels over a 2-week period, utilizing a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) device, for Type 2 Diabetic patients being treated with metformin. 
   
This study is being done because recent findings demonstrate that the sequential order of macronutrient consumption during a meal has a significant impact on post-meal glucose levels, such that eating carbohydrates at the end of the meal (rather than the beginning) results in more stable glucose levels.

Participants will be provided meals for 2 weeks and instructed to follow each meal pattern (carbohydrates-first vs carbohydrates-last) to compare the effects of nutrient sequence on post-meal glycemia.

Key Eligibility: 
  1. 21 years or older
  2. Type 2 diabetes diagnosed less than 10 years ago
  3. HbA1c between 7% and 8.5%
  4. Must be on a stable dose of Metformin for at least 1 month and not taking any other anti-diabetic medication
  5. No history of bariatric surgery
  6. Not pregnant or breastfeeding

Detailed eligibility will be reviewed when you contact the study team.
