Study Summary

This trial will test the effect of 3 types of peas on post-meal blood sugar and insulin levels, as well as appetite and any side effects.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for generally healthy men and women aged 18-40, with a BMI of 18.5-34.5 kg/m2, and normal blood sugar levels (HbA1c <6.0%). Participants must be willing to give informed consent and follow the study's requirements.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The trial aims to see how three types of peas affect blood sugar and insulin levels after meals in a controlled setting where participants switch between diets including peas or starchy foods like rice or potatoes.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Potential side effects may include gastrointestinal discomfort due to high fiber content in peas. The study will also monitor how much participants like the food and any changes in appetite.
