Brief Summary

The goal of this acute double-blind cross over trial to test the effects of different wild rice cereal products compared to products currently on the market on glycaemic control. The main questions it aims to answer are:

• consent to attend 6 study visits being 2.5 hours each
• come to each visit fasted for at least 10-12 hours.
• complete a Motivation to Eat VAS following each blood measure

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• The effects of different wild rice products compared to products currently on the market on glycaemic control.

  Finger stick blood glucose will be measured throughout each session.

  Capillary blood glucose will be measured at 0 (baseline) and then 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 mins after the first bite of treatment.

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• To measure the palatability of the wild rice products following consumption.

  VAS measuring palatability will be completed right after the consumption of the treatments.

Study Design

• Study Type: interventional
• Phase: not applicable
• Allocation: RANDOMIZED
• Masking: DOUBLE
• Who Masked: PARTICIPANT, INVESTIGATOR
• Masking Details: The allocation of this intervention order will be blinded for the investigators and the participants. Treatment will be given blinded names, such as A and B, but it may be possible to determine what each treatment is due to its appearance, however we will not be informing the participants what the treatments are. The study staff who will be preparing and overseeing the treatments may not be blinded due to the different appearances of the treatments. However, the staff that will conduct the trial results analyses will not be un-blinded until the analyses are complete.
• Purpose: BASIC SCIENCE
• Intervention Model: CROSSOVER
• Sponsor Type: OTHER
• Responsible Party: SPONSOR INVESTIGATOR
• PI Title: Assistant Professor

Model Details: The project will consist of 2 acute double-blind cross-over trials. The trials will follow the same study design but investigate 2 types of wild rice products. The wild rice products will be provided by the Myera group.
