The Impact of Food Order on Glycemic Excursions in Type 2 Diabetes Assessed by Continuous Glucose Monitoring

The Impact of Food Order/Nutrient Sequence on Glycemic Excursions in Type 2 Diabetes Assessed by Continuous Glucose Monitoring

The purpose of this study is to explain the effect of food order/nutrient sequencing on glycemic excursions over a 2 week period, utilizing a device known as a continuous glucose monitor (CGM), for people who have been diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and treated with metformin. This research study is being done because recent studies demonstrate that besides carbohydrate amount and type, the sequential order of macronutrient consumption during a meal has a significant impact on post-meal glucose levels.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Metformin-treated type 2 diabetes of less than 10 years duration
• Must be on a stable dose of metformin for at least 1 month
• HbA1c ≤8.5 percent

Exclusion Criteria:

• Relevant food allergies
• Oral steroid therapy within 90 days of enrollment
• Anti-diabetic medications other than metformin
• History of bariatric surgery
• Pregnant women
• Any participant deemed unsuitable in the investigator's opinion
