About this study

Official title: Impact of High Milk Product and Calcium Intake During Weight Loss on Markers of Insulin Resistance

The purpose of this study is to determine if increased intake of low-fat milk products and calcium as part of a calorie restricted diet helps achieve a healthier body weight and body composition and decrease blood glucose levels in people with insulin resistance or type 2 diabetes.

Read the detailed description

Obesity can cause many health problems as it is linked to several chronic diseases including type 2 diabetes. We know that individuals who are overweight or obese, and have impaired glucose tolerance or insulin resistance, have a good chance of developing type 2 diabetes. Research tells us that the risk of developing type 2 diabetes can be decreased by losing weight and making dietary changes. A promising area of study involves using low-fat milk products and calcium to prevent and/or control obesity and diabetes. This study is important because it will determine if including low-fat milk products in weight reducing diets can enhance weight loss, improve fat loss and decrease levels of blood glucose and insulin in individuals with impaired glucose tolerance or type 2 diabetes not treated with medication. This information is directly applicable to treating diseases such as obesity, type 2 diabetes and heart disease.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing High dairy and calcium intake and Usual intake in people with Impaired Glucose Tolerance and Type 2 Diabetes, run by University of Calgary at 1 site in Canada.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 14 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Jan 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Canada. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Weight loss (time frame: 12 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 21 Jan 2010.
