Whey Protein and Glucose Control in Prediabetes and Type 2 Diabetes
This study is looking at how consuming whey protein isolate affects blood sugar (glucose) levels in people with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes. Researchers want to see if taking whey protein isolate twice a day, once in the morning and once before dinner, can help control blood sugar and appetite. You might be able to join if you are between 50 and 70 years old, have a body mass index (BMI) between 25-45 kg/m2, and have an HbA1c (a measure of average blood sugar over 2-3 months) between 5.7% and 7.5%. The study will measure changes in whole body protein turnover, oral glucose tolerance, and blood glucose after 7 days to see if the intervention is successful. The current status of this study is unclear.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study planning to enroll 40 participants. It uses a crossover design, meaning participants will receive both the whey protein isolate and a placebo at different times.
- What's involved
- You would participate in two separate 7-day periods, one with whey protein isolate and one with a placebo. During these periods, you would need to avoid alcohol, marijuana, and CBD products.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- The primary measurements for the study are taken at 7 days.

What this trial measures
- Whole body protein turnover7 days
Whole body protein turnover reflects the continual synthesis and breakdown of body proteins. It can be measured at a whole-body or tissue level using stable isotope methods.
- Oral Glucose Tolerance Test7 days
Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) is used to screen for or diagnose diabetes. Normal blood values for a 75 gram OGTT are: Fasting -- 60 to 99 mg/dL (3.3 to 5.5 mmol/L), 1 hour -- Less than 200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L), 2 hours -- Less than 140 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L) is normal.
- Blood glucose7 days
Continuous glucose monitoring means using a device to automatically estimate your blood glucose level, also called blood sugar, throughout the day and night for 7 days.
