Study summary

This trial will investigate whether a powdered fibre mix helps maintain healthy blood glucose levels in participants with pre-diabetes, where high blood sugar is a risk of diabetes.

Read the detailed description

Pre-diabetes is characterised by high blood glucose levels, high plasma cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL). Dietary fibre consumption has been hypothesised to improve these metabolic parameters through the viscous properties, and the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) in the intestine.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. HbA1c levels

    To compare the effect of Myota's Metabolic Regulator versus placebo on Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels

    Time frame: 16 weeks

Secondary outcomes

  1. HbA1c levels

    To compare the effect of Myota's Metabolic Regulator versus placebo on Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels

    Time frame: 24 weeks

  2. Insulin

    To compare the effect of Myota's Metabolic Regulator versus placebo on blood insulin concentration.

    Time frame: 16 and 24 weeks

  3. Insulin sensitivity

    To compare the effect of Myota's Metabolic Regulator versus placebo on insulin sensitivity as measured using ISI-OGTT.

    Time frame: 16 weeks

  4. Lipid profile

    To compare the effect of Myota's Metabolic Regulator versus placebo on cholesterol \[total, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL)\] and triglycerides levels.

    Time frame: 16 and 24 weeks

  5. Inflammatory markers

    To compare the effect of Myota's Metabolic Regulator versus placebo on inflammatory markers (IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, CRP, TNF-a).

    Time frame: 16 and 24 weeks

  6. Blood pressure

    To compare the effect of Myota's Metabolic Regulator versus placebo on diastolic and systolic blood pressure

    Time frame: 16 and 24 weeks

  7. Overall safety of the Myota Metabolic Regulator

    Number of participants reporting adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs)

    Time frame: Weeks 1-4

  8. To investigate intervention adherence

    A daily intervention adherence questionnaire will be used to assess the extent to which participant's adhered to the intervention. This will consist of two questions: Did you consume the full sachet of study product yesterday? Yes/No \[If no\] Why were you unable to take the product yesterday?

    Time frame: 24 weeks

  9. To investigate usability

    A usability questionnaire will be administered to assess how easily participant's were able to use the intervention or placebo. This will consist of two statements: I found the supplement easy to take. Strongly disagree to Strongly agree (5 options) I would like to take this supplement in my normal daily life. Yes/no

    Time frame: 16 and 24 weeks
