Pilot Study: Herbs, Spices, and Glucose Response

This pilot study wants to see if a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) can accurately measure how your blood sugar changes after eating a potato dish, with or without a blend of herbs and spices. You might be able to join if you are between 18 and 50 years old, have a BMI between 20-35, don't have food allergies to the study items, and are willing to wear a CGM for at least 10 days. The study will look at your blood sugar levels at specific times after eating and over 24 hours. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status and plans to enroll up to 10 participants.

Study design
This is a pilot study with a maximum of 10 participants. You will eat three different potato entrees, with the order of entrees being randomized.
What's involved
You will consume one specific entree per day over a 10-day period. You will also need to wear a continuous glucose monitor for at least 10 days.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Your post-meal glucose response will be measured at 0, 1, and 2 hours after eating, as well as continuously for 24 hours.

weight stable
access to a smart phone
willingness to wear a continuous glucose monitor for the duration of the study (at minimum 10 days)

Exclusion

pregnancy or anticipating pregnancy or lactation
food allergy to study items
diagnosed diabetes (type 1 or 2) or taking diabetes medications

5% weight loss or gain within the past 6 months
medical conditions or medication that would prevent the ability to comply with the treatment assignment and/or affect blood glucose or energy balance

  • Post-prandial glucose response0, 1, and 2 hours post-meal, as well as 24 hour continuous

    Glucose response will be measured using continuous glucose monitors. These devices will capture changes in glucose response from the start of the meal to about 2 hours postprandial.
