Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2

Brief summary

The evidence on the consumption of 100% orange juice in people with type 2 diabetes is highly variable and largely out-of-date, with a few studies reporting acute negative glycaemic effects when 100% orange juice is drunk with or without a meal. The aim of the project is to study the impact of the intake of a single serving of 100% orange juice on glycaemic control in male patients with pre-existing type 2 diabetes mellitus. In addition, immunological parameters and Alzheimer disease related biomarkers will be assessed to examine the chronic inflammatory state of these patients

Exclusion criteria

* pregnancy, * participants on exogenous insulin therapy, * HbA1c \>8.5%, * BMI \<22 or \>35 kg/m², * regular smokers (\>1 cigarette per day), * participants with established cardiovascular disease, * neurological disease, * cancer, * renal disease. * Participants who are unwilling to consume any of the standard foods/drinks

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Glycaemic responses venous bloodbaselineVenous blood samples collected to examine systemic glycemia (venous blood glucose concentration (mg/dL)) before, during and after a breakfast (differing in supplemented juice composition) for up to 5 hours postprandial.
Insulin responsesBaselineVenous blood samples collected to examine systemic insulinemia (venous blood insulin concentration (pmol/L)) before, during and after a breakfast (differing in supplemented juice composition) for up to 5 hours postprandial.
Capillary glycaemic responsesBaselineCapillary blood samples collected to examine glycemia before, during and after a breakfast (differing in supplemented juice composition) for up to 5 hours postprandial.

Secondary
