The Effect of Resistant Starch Bagels on Risk Factors of Type 2 Diabetes and Colorectal Cancer

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Interventions
Other: Resistant Starch
Registration Number
NCT02129946
Lead Sponsor
University of Guelph
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if consumption of bagels made with resistant starch for 8 weeks can improve markers of type 2 diabetes, colon cancer and satiety in adults.

Detailed Description

Using a randomized, double-blind crossover study design, we will determine the effect of consuming bagels made with resistant starch daily for 8-weeks can reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes and colon cancer in an adults who are at an increased risk for type 2 diabetes. Additionally, we will compare the satiating effect of these bagels to that of a standard bagel.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Fasting and postprandial blood glucoseup to day 57 of both treatment periods

Blood glucose will be measured in the fasting state and postprandially (during a 3-hour oral glucose tolerance test) on the first and last study days of both treatment periods.

Fasting and postprandial insulinup to day 57 of both treatment periods

Circulating insulin will be measured in the fasting state and postprandially (during a 3-hour oral glucose tolerance test) on the first and last study days of both treatment periods.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
HbA1cDay 1 and 57 of both treatment periods

HbA1c (glycated haemoglobin) will be measured from fasting blood drawn on days 1 and 57 of both treatment periods.

Calculated insulin sensitivity and beta-cell functionDays 1 and 57 of both treatment periods

Data will be used from 3-hour oral glucose tolerance tests performed on days 1 and 57 of both treatment periods.

Satiety-producing effectDay 2,3 or 4 of both treatment periods

After study bagel consumption as part of a standard breakfast, questionnaires will be used to quantify subjective measures of satiety, and weighted food records will be used to objectively measure food intake for the rest of the day.
