An interventional study of low whey protein and moderate whey protein in T1D and T1DM, sponsored by University of Jordan. Not yet recruiting. Open to participants aged 12 Years to 18 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-09-23.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether drinking whey protein or pea protein before exercise affects blood sugar levels and appetite in adolescents with type 1 diabetes. The study will also compare two different amounts of each type of protein.
The main questions this study aims to answer are:
Researchers will compare four conditions: a low and moderate amount of whey protein and a low and moderate amount of pea protein. Each participant will complete all four conditions on separate study visits, allowing researchers to compare the effects within the same person.
Participants will:
The study may help researchers understand whether the type and amount of protein consumed before exercise can help manage blood sugar levels and appetite around exercise in adolescents with type 1 diabetes.

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
A blood test of average blood sugar over the past two to three months, given as a percentage or in mmol/mol. 6.5% (48 mmol/mol) or more is the usual threshold for diabetes, normally confirmed by a second test.
Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.
What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.

Participants will consume a whey protein beverage providing 0.25 g of protein per kg of body weight, 45 minutes before moderate-intensity aerobic exercise. They will then complete the standardized exercise session under supervision. Glucose levels and appetite will be monitored during and after exercise.
Dietary Supplement: low whey protein
Participants will consume a whey protein beverage providing the moderate prespecified dose of protein per kg of body weight, 45 minutes before moderate-intensity aerobic exercise. They will then complete the standardized exercise session under supervision. Glucose levels and appetite will be monitored during and after exercise.
Dietary Supplement: moderate whey protein
Dietary Supplement: low Pea protein
Dietary Supplement: Moderate Pea protein
