MB Clinical Research Trials is currently seeking participants for a new clinical trial assessing the effects of nutritional shakes on glucose levels in patients with Type 2 Diabetes.
Supplemental nutrition drinks (or shakes) provide a healthy balance of protein, carbohydrate, and fat, vitamins and minerals. Diabetes-specific nutritional shakes are specially designed to deliver nutrition and minimize blood glucose spikes after consumption. When used as part of a diabetes management plan, they can help blood glucose control.
The goal of our study is to assess to evaluate the impact of a complete and balanced diabetes-specific nutritional shake consumed twice daily, on glucose control. Glucose levels will be measured through a continuous glucose monitor which you will wear throughout the course of the study.
The study involves 3 visits to our clinic. There will be three visits to our clinic on
Day 1, Day 6 and Day 14.
• The first visit may last up to 90 minutes. After receiving your study information and obtaining your consent to proceed, we will perform a fingerstick HbA1C measurement to determine if your values are in the acceptable range to participate in the study. If your HbA1c levels fall between 7 and 10% we will continue the visit to evaluate your health to participate in the trial. If not, you will not be able to continue in the study. During this first visit we will place a continuous glucose monitor on the back of your upper arm.
• The second and third visits may last up to an hour.
• There will be a phone call 2-7 days after the study for safety follow-up.
