Low-sugar carbs for better fat and sugar levels
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether special carbohydrates that release sugar slowly (low glycemic index) can improve your blood fats (triglycerides) and other health markers better than regular whole grains. If you have moderately high triglycerides, this diet swap might help your metabolism and blood vessels.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- Your triglyceride level is above 150 mg/dL (your doctor can check this)
- You can follow the study instructions and give your consent
- You do not have celiac disease or gluten allergy
- Your body mass index (BMI) is 30 or below

This study tests a food supplement to see if it helps keep blood sugar levels healthier in people with slightly high blood sugar (pre-diabetes). If you qualify, you would take the supplement and have your blood sugar checked over time.
This study looks at how eating grain foods affects health in adults with higher blood sugar levels. It may help you understand if a change in diet can improve your health.
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 whether eating carbohydrates that digest slowly can naturally boost a hormone called GLP-1, which helps control blood sugar and appetite. Researchers want to understand if this might help people manage their weight and metabolism.
This study measures how your blood sugar changes after eating meals high in carbohydrates. You’ll likely use study apps and eat specific study foods, and results may help researchers understand what drives different blood-sugar responses.
This study looks at how people with different body weights digest and process sugar after a meal. Participants will eat a special breakfast and have blood and possibly stool tests to track a safe, low-dose radioactive label in the sugar. The goal is to understand why body weight affects sugar metabolism.
