Are you recruiting participants for this trial?

Yes

 

 

Geographical location of study 

Cork

 

Who can take part?

Adults aged 18-75, with raised blood sugar levels in the Cork area.

 

What will the participants be asked to do?

In short, participants will attend 7 visits over a 5 month period at the study site in Cork.

They will be required to wear a continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) sensor, which a research nurse will provide you with instructions on how to change at home. This will allow the participant to monitor their blood glucose. We will also complete a health check with each participant.

They will receive a supply of the investigational supplement or placebo.

You will then be required to complete an Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) at visit 3 & 7.

A OGTT is performed as follows:– A cannula will be inserted into your arm.– A blood sample will be collected before you consume a sugary drink and after.– 6 blood samples will be collected over the course of 2.5 hours.– You will be asked to remain seated for the duration of test.

If you attend all 7 study visits described above, you will receive a financial compensation of €650 to cover your time and any expenses incurred.
