About this study

Official title: The Effect of Dairy Products With Reduced Added Sugar Content on Blood Glucose, Satiety and Food Intake

Dairy products represent an important food group in human nutrition as a source of calcium, protein, functional fats and low-glycaemic sugar lactose. While traditionally consumed natural milk and yogurt have low sugar content, many flavoured liquid dairy products such as chocolate milk, or fermented products such as yogurt have added sugar. Our recent studies have shown that the partial reduction of added sugar in chocolate milk and yogurt is not associated with any inferior sensory characteristics such as taste and pleasantness compared to their full-sugar counterparts. The current project will investigate whether the liquid dairy products with reduced sugar content (value-added products) have any benefits on blood glucose control in humans.

What is being measured

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

  1. Blood glucose

    The concentration of blood glucose

    Measured: 0-120 minutes

  2. Insulin

    The concentration of blood glucose

    Measured: 0-120 minutes

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Satiety

    The components of average subjective appetite including desire to eat, hunger, fullness, and a prospective food consumption measured with 100mm visual analogue scales.

    Measured: 0-120 minutes

  2. Food intake

    Energy intake with an ad libitum meat at 120 minutes

    Measured: 120 minutes

  3. Thirst

    The subjective perception of thirst measured with 100mm visual analogue scales containing the question "How thirsty do you feel?" and two statements on each pole of 100mm line: "Not thirsty at all" (0mm) and "As thirsty as I have ever felt" (100mm).

    Measured: 0-120 minutes

  4. Physical comfort

    The subjective feeling of wellness and gastrointestinal discomfort parameters including the feeling of nausea, stomach cramps, flatulency, diarrhea and a subjective feeling of wellness, each measured with 100mm visual analogue scales.

    Measured: 0-120 minutes

  5. Food pleasantness

    The perception of pleasantness of the treatments (0 min) and a test meal (at 120 min) will be measured with 100mm visual analogue scale.

    Measured: at 0 and 120 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Food in people with Blood Glucose, High and Metabolic Disease, run by Mount Saint Vincent University 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 1 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 16 Mar 2023. 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?

Blood glucose (time frame: 0-120 minutes). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 16 Mar 2023.
