This study looks at how your gut bacteria and the foods you eat affect your blood sugar after meals. You'll wear a small sensor to track your blood sugar for 10 days and provide stool samples.
This study tests whether replacing part of your animal protein with plant-based protein can improve Type 2 diabetes control. It may help your blood sugar and weight management without changing everything about your diet.
This study tests how specific foods impact your body's ability to manage blood sugar and fat levels. You'll eat meals provided by the research team for about 12 weeks to help researchers understand which foods work best for people with high triglycerides (a type of blood fat) and insulin resistance (difficulty managing blood sugar).
This study tests how different types and amounts of carbohydrates in the food you eat affect your blood sugar and cholesterol. If you have metabolic syndrome or are at high risk, the results could guide better dietary advice for managing your health, and your participation will help researchers learn more.
This study tests whether drinking whey protein can help control blood sugar in people with pre-diabetes or mild diabetes. If you qualify, you'll wear a continuous glucose monitor and keep a food journal for two weeks.
This study looks at how well plant-based diets meet the body's protein needs in different age groups. You'll follow a plant-based eating plan temporarily, and researchers will check your blood to see how your body responds.
