Study Summary

This trial will study the effects of adding whey protein to the diet of people with pre-diabetes or type 2 diabetes. It will measure changes in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and total body fat.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for men and women with pre-diabetes or type 2 diabetes who have been weight stable, are non-smokers, and lead a sedentary to lightly active lifestyle. They should not have significant cardiovascular or metabolic diseases. People with emphysema, COPD, severe heart disease, fasting intolerances, cancer, allergies to milk products or certain sugars, or eating disorders cannot participate.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the effects of adding whey protein supplements three times daily to the regular diet of participants over eight weeks. It aims to measure how this regimen affects blood sugar control (HbA1c levels) and body fat in individuals with pre-diabetes or type 2 diabetes.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include digestive discomfort due to whey protein intake such as bloating or gas especially in those with lactose intolerance. Allergic reactions could occur in case of undiagnosed milk protein allergy.
