Food Orders on Blood Glucose and Fuel Use At Rest (NCT06763562)
The Impact of Different Food Orders on Blood Glucose and Fuel Use At Rest
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
Consuming a carbohydrate-rich food as the final food in a meal, as compared to the first food in a meal, has been shown to reduce blood glucose levels after eating in both diabetes patients and in healthy controls. However, gaps remain in the literature in this area of research, and currently little is known about how substrate (fuel) use is impacted by altering food order. In addition, most studies to date have used a mix of meat and plant foods, while little research has focused exclusively on vegetarian foods. This randomized experiment will examine how altering the order of foods eaten in a vegetarian meal impacts blood glucose and fuel utilization at rest.
