• Conditions: Diabetes Mellitus, Type II; Overweight or Obesity

• Registration Number: NCT05957224
• Lead Sponsor: The University of The West Indies

Brief Summary

Following a meal, in nondiabetic individuals, blood glucose rises to peak at 1hr and returns to baseline in 2 - 3 hours. In T2DM, this peak is higher and prolonged. Meal plans for persons with T2DM should comprise evenly spaced, complex carbohydrate portions in order to avoid post-prandial glucose spikes. Researchers have developed an expanded line of Caribbean-flavoured, low-calorie meal-replacement shakes which have been formulated to match the macronutrient and caloric content of a commercially available brand. In this trial investigators aim to (1) examine the change in glucose levels post intake of Caribbean vs the commercially available brand and (2) to conduct a comparative sensory analysis of the two shakes.
