Orange Juice and Glycaemic Control in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2
Registration Number
NCT04412798
Lead Sponsor
Hasselt University
Brief Summary

The evidence on the consumption of 100% orange juice in people with type 2 diabetes is highly variable and largely out-of-date, with a few studies reporting acute negative glycaemic effects when 100% orange juice is drunk with or without a meal. The aim of the project is to study the impact of the intake of a single serving of 100% orange juice on glycaemic control in male patients with pre-existing type 2 diabetes mellitus. In addition, immunological parameters and Alzheimer disease related biomarkers will be assessed to examine the chronic inflammatory state of these patients

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Insulin responsesDay 10

Venous blood samples collected to examine systemic insulinemia (venous blood insulin concentration (pmol/L)) before, during and after a breakfast (differing in supplemented juice composition) for up to 5 hours postprandial.

Glycaemic responses venous bloodDay 10

Venous blood samples collected to examine systemic glycemia (venous blood glucose concentration (mg/dL)) before, during and after a breakfast (differing in supplemented juice composition) for up to 5 hours postprandial.

Capillary glycaemic responsesDay 10

Capillary blood samples collected to examine glycemia before, during and after a breakfast (differing in supplemented juice composition) for up to 5 hours postprandial.
