Study Summary

This trial compares two snacks with different ingredients to see if one reduces post-meal glucose levels more than the other.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for pre-menopausal women without chronic diseases like heart or kidney disease, diabetes, thyroid issues needing medication, bowel diseases, or recent major surgeries. They must be willing to eat snacks with honey, sugar, and nuts but can't have nut allergies or a BMI <18.5 or >40.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study compares the effects of two snacks on blood sugar levels: one snack combines honey with nuts and the other combines table sugar with nuts. The goal is to see if honey and nuts together better manage glucose after eating compared to just sugar and nuts.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

While not explicitly listed in the provided information, potential side effects may include allergic reactions to tree nuts for those sensitive; changes in blood sugar levels; digestive discomfort from consuming the test snacks.
