How Different Foods Affect Your Metabolism and Blood Sugar
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 40 and 70 years old
- Your fasting triglycerides are higher than 115 mg/dL (a blood fat measurement)
- You show signs of insulin resistance, meaning your body doesn't respond well to insulin (a hormone that controls blood sugar)
- You can eat most of your meals (about 80% of daily food) provided by the study for the duration
- You can visit the clinic up to 6 times during the study
- You are not taking medications or supplements that could interfere with the study results, and you don't follow special diets like vegan, vegetarian, or keto

This study looks at how differences in insulin resistance may change how the liver makes triglycerides (a type of blood fat). It may help researchers understand why some people have higher triglycerides and how to target them better.
This study looks at how different foods affect your body after eating, especially your blood sugar and other metabolic responses. It may help find personalized ways to eat better for your health.
This study tests whether a Mediterranean-style diet can help people with prediabetes manage their blood sugar. You'll follow a specific eating plan and the researchers will check your health over time.
This study tests how “lipid” (fat) changes in the body affect insulin resistance, which is when the body doesn’t respond to insulin as well as it should. Because it’s done in healthy people, it’s mainly looking at basic biology and may help guide future treatments.
This trial studies how different types of starch (carbohydrates) affect blood sugar control, inflammation, and gut health in people with insulin resistance. You may benefit if you are overweight, have insulin resistance, and are willing to follow a specific diet for 2 months.
This study tests whether a special cooking oil (diacylglycerol oil) can improve blood sugar and other health markers in people with prediabetes. You will receive all meals during the study, and the oil is used in place of regular oil.
