Effects of an Amino Acid and Chromium-picolinate Containing Drink on Glucose Metabolism

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Type 2 Diabetes
Prediabetes

Dietary Supplement: Amino Acid and chromium-picolinate containing drink
Dietary Supplement: Placebo Drink
Registration Number
NCT02235194
Lead Sponsor

Brief Summary

It has previously been shown in healthy overweight subjects, that table water including a defined amount of amino acids and chromium can decrease the postprandial glucose and insulin response. In this study, the effect of this table water on glucose excursions after a test meal containing a defined amount of available carbohydrates, protein and fat will be studied in patients with early type 2 diabetes or prediabetes according to guidelines that are treated with dietary measures or metformin only. The study will be conducted in a cross -over design, double blinded and placebo controlled including 20 participants. The primary endpoint of the study is the incremental area under the curve for plasma glucose (iAUCgluc) within 180 minutes after ingestion of the meal.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Area under the curve for Glucose0', 15', 30', 60', 90', 120', 150', 180' post test meal

Area under the curve for glucose will be measured within 180 minutes after a test meal. Blood samples will be drawan at 8 timepoints during 180 minutes after ingestion of the test meal (0', 15', 30', 60', 90', 120', 150', 180').

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
markers of lipid metabolism0', 15', 30', 60', 90', 120', 150', 180' post test meal

Triglycerides, VLDL and other parameters of lipid metabolism are planned to be measured within 180 minutes after a test meal at 0', 15', 30', 60', 90', 120', 150', 180'.

Gut peptide hormones0', 15', 30', 60', 90', 120', 150', 180' post test meal

Area under the curve for GLP-1, ghrelin, glucagone and GIP are measured within 180 minutes after the test meal.

AUC for insulin0', 15', 30', 60', 90', 120', 150', 180' post test meal

Blood samples will be drawan at 8 timepoints during 180 minutes after ingestion of the test meal (0', 15', 30', 60', 90', 120', 150', 180').

Markers of inflammationat 0', 15', 30', 60', 90', 120', 150', 180' post test meal

Blood samples will be drawan at 8 timepoints during 180 minutes after ingestion of the test meal (0', 15', 30', 60', 90', 120', 150', 180'). At these timepoints markers of inflammation will be measured (i.e. hsCRP and others)
