Brief summary

To investigate the effects of artificial sweeteners on glucose metabolism in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients

Detailed description

Artificial sweeteners are among the most widely used food additives worldwide. Artificial sweeteners consumption is considered safe and beneficial owing to their low caloric content. However, recent studies demonstrated that consumption of commonly used artificial sweeteners formulations drives the development of glucose intolerance in healthy human subjects. However,the effects of artificial sweeter on glucose metabolism in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients remains unknown. Thus, different doses of sweeteners will be given to newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients to investigate the effects of artificial sweeteners on glucose metabolism.
