Brief summary

This study will evaluate whether enteric-coated nutrients increase some glucose and regulating hormone levels, glucose tolerance and satiety in overweight and obese individuals with type 2 diabetes.

Detailed description

Direct delivery of nutrient to the upper intestine by enteral feeding tube can increase circulating levels of some glucose and appetite regulating hormones when compared to usual oral ingestion. Such an enhancement could be of value in the management of type 2 diabetes and obesity. In this study enteric-coated nutrients will be ingested to allow for direct delivery of nutrient to the upper intestine. Levels of select hormones and glucose, and measures of satiety and adverse effects will be compared following the ingestion of uncoated and enteric coated nutrient.

Interventions

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENTSucrose plus Whole Milk Powder in Enteric Coating

Single dose enteric coated sucrose plus whole milk powder will be consumed by mouth. Blood will be drawn at baseline and then at 15 minute intervals for 3 hours from ingestion for measurement of GLP-1, PYY, C-peptide, insulin and glucose.Visual analog score will be used to record satiety and adverse symptoms every 15 minutes.

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENTNon coated Sucrose plus Whole Milk

Single dose sucrose plus whole milk powder with separate enteric coating materials will be consumed by mouth. Blood will be drawn at baseline and then at 15 minute intervals for 3 hours from ingestion for measurement of GLP-1, PYY, C-peptide, insulin and glucose.Visual analog score will be used to record satiety and adverse symptoms every 15 minutes.

Blood will be drawn at baseline and then at 15 minute intervals for 3 hours from ingestion for measurement of GLP-1, PYY, C-peptide, insulin and glucose.Visual analog score will be used to record satiety and adverse symptoms every 15 minutes.

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENTWhey Protein in Enteric Coating

Single dose enteric coated whey protein will be consumed by mouth. Blood will be drawn at baseline and then at 15 minute intervals for 3 hours from ingestion for measurement of GLP-1, PYY, C-peptide, insulin and glucose.Visual analog score will be used to record satiety and adverse symptoms every 15 minutes.

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENTPea Protein in Enteric Coating

Single dose enteric coated pea protein will be consumed by mouth. Blood will be drawn at baseline and then at 15 minute intervals for 3 hours from ingestion for measurement of GLP-1, PYY, C-peptide, insulin and glucose.Visual analog score will be used to record satiety and adverse symptoms every 15 minutes.
