ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, called "PROTeIn-rich Meals to Control Glucose," is exploring how different diets can help people with prediabetes and type 2 diabetes manage their blood sugar levels. The researchers want to find out if eating meals high in protein at certain times of the day can be more effective than other diets that include different amounts of carbohydrates and protein. This study aims to better understand how these dietary patterns affect blood sugar control and inflammation in the body.

If you're aged between 27 and 74 years and have prediabetes (with a fasting blood sugar level between 100-125 mg/dl) or type 2 diabetes (with a fasting blood sugar level above 126 mg/dl), you may be eligible to participate. It’s important to note that if you have other types of diabetes, are on insulin treatment, or have certain health conditions (like severe high blood pressure, heart disorders, or recent cancer), you may not qualify for this study. Participants can expect to follow specific meal plans and may have regular check-ins to monitor their progress. This trial is currently looking for volunteers, so if you're interested, it's a good time to reach out!
