Metabolic Effects of Whey Compounds in Patients With Diabetes Mellitus Type 2.

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2
Interventions
Dietary Supplement: WHE
Dietary Supplement: speWHE
Registration Number
NCT04166760
Lead Sponsor
University of Aarhus
Brief Summary

The main objective of our study is to investigate the metabolic effects of a i) ordinary whey protein (WHE) and ii) a specific whey protein fraction (speWHE) when the interventions are ingested by patients with type 2 diabetes 30 minutes prior to an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). We will also investigate the glucose response when the patients ingest the interventions at home in their own environment 30 minutes before breakfast and dinner (2days) and also monitor glucose levels without interventions (2 days).
