Milk Plus Exercise: A Novel Strategy to Treat Diabetes.

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Type 2 Diabetes
Interventions
Dietary Supplement: Skim Milk
Dietary Supplement: Macronutrient isoenergetic control
Behavioral: High intensity interval training
Other: Placebo
Registration Number
NCT02251301
Lead Sponsor
University of British Columbia
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether combining interval training with skim milk supplementation will result in improved glucose control and markers of cardiovascular health in people with type 2 diabetes. Participants will complete supervised interval training three times a week over a 12 week training period while consuming skim-milk, whey/casein protein drink, or a placebo beverage that does not contain any calories or vitamins/minerals immediately and 1 hour after each training session. After twelve weeks participants will repeat baseline tests to examine any effects of the intervention on their glucose control, fitness, blood vessel function, body composition, and blood markers of inflammation.
