What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Incremental area under the blood glucose response curve

    Measured: For 2 hours after consuming each test meal

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Peak rise of blood glucose

    The highest concentration of blood glucose achieved after eating minus the fasting blood glucose.

    Measured: During 2 hour period after consuming each test meal

  2. Time to peak

    The time at which the peak rise of blood glucose occured.

    Measured: During 2 hour period after consuming each test meal

  3. Mean rate of decline in blood glucose

    The rate of change in blood glucose between consecutive time points (Tx and T(x+1)) was calculated as: Rx = (Gx G(x+1))/(Tx-T(x+1)), where G(x+1) and Gx were the glucose concentrations at times T(x+1) and Tx, respectively. The mean rate of decline in blood glucose (Mean RD) was calculated as the weighted average of all the Rx values from the time of the peak glucose concentration to 120 min, with the weight based on the length of the time interval.

    Measured: During 2 hour period after consuming each test meal

  4. Maximum rate of decline in blood glucose

    The rate of change in blood glucose between consecutive time points (Tx and T(x+1)) was calculated as: Rx = (Gx G(x+1))/(Tx-T(x+1)), where G(x+1) and Gx were the glucose concentrations at times T(x+1) and Tx, respectively. . The maximum rate in blood glucose decline (Max RD) was calculated as the maximum of all the Rx values from the time of the peak glucose concentration to 120 min.

    Measured: During 2 hour period after consuming each test meal

  5. Time to baseline

    The time for blood glucose to return to baseline was linearly interpolated between the first blood glucose concentration below fasting and the previous value; if blood glucose did not reach baseline, Bt was taken to be 120min.

    Measured: During 2 hour period after consuming each test meal

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Classic Quaker Quick Oats and Cream of Rice Cereal in people with Diabetes Mellitus, run by Glycemic Index Laboratories, Inc 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 1 inclusion and 2 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 23 Jul 2015. 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. 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?

Incremental area under the blood glucose response curve (time frame: For 2 hours after consuming each test meal). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02506972, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 23 Jul 2015.
