Effect of nutritional preloads on blood sugar in Type 2 Diabetes
12 April 2021
The University of Nottingham is carrying out a study to find out whether consuming small amounts of specific nutrients before breakfast, lunch and dinner (a practice known as consumption of nutritional preloads) can lower the levels of blood sugar after each meal and during the night in people with Type 2 Diabetes. We will also determine whether those preloads can increase the feeling of fullness and reduce hunger (known as satiety). This research is being sponsored by Nestlé Health Science.
