SWEET TASTE DIABETES CLINICAL TRIALS
Our aim is to investigate the way sugars enter the blood (from our food), and whether these uptake pathways in the gut can be targeted in new ways to better control blood sugar.
Our group has the following clinical studies underway, involving type 2 diabetic volunteers.
Study 1: Investigating a novel therapy to slow glucose entry into the blood, leading to improved control of blood glucose.
Study 2: Investigating whether diet supplementation with a combination of artificial sweeteners, affects blood glucose control.
You may be eligble to take part if you are:
- Aged 28-75 years of age
- Have Type 2 Diabetes, managed by diet or by metformin medication alone
- Without Diabetes and healthy
- Not under any dietary restrictions (you will be required to consume a beef lasagne meal)
To volunteer you must be willing to attend our clinic at SAHMRI and the Royal Adelaide Hospital on 3 separate occasions, over one month.
Upon successful completion of the study, volunteers will receive a $150 gift voucher. This research is approved by the Royal Adelaide Hospital Ethics Committee.
