A Clinical Trial of Overweight/Obesity With Type 2 Diabetes

In the previous intervention studies of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus patients, changes in blood glucose and insulin resistance profiles before and after intervention indicated that different intervention methods had different effects on outcomes. Therefore, this study intends to explore the effect of the Light-Fat Rice®combined with Active Peptide® on the level of insulin resistance in overweight/obese diabetic patients and its effect on the outcome through a 4-week, randomized, double-blind, controlled clinical trial, further elucidating its intervention mechanism theoretically. The study predicts that dynamic blood glucose(mean blood glucose) and glycosylated albumin will significantly different between the control group and the intervention group.And insulin resistance levels, blood lipids and other indicators wil be improved, and the test group was superior to the control group.All of these will contribute to more scientific and effective Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus's management.

The prevalence of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus is increasing year by year in the world, causing harm to patients' health and making a huge consumption of medical expenses. Obesity is one of the most obvious risk factors for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. There are also many positive studies on nutritional intervention for the treatment of obese patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus at home and abroad. The effect of nutritional meal replacement to relieve the disease has also been widely recognized.

Light-Fat Rice® is a new type of nutritious staple food taking rice, konjac, marine fish oligopeptide powder, inulin and yeast as raw material. Also,there is a protein solid beverage,Active Peptide®,containing soy protein isolate, soy peptide powder, oligofructose,water-soluble dietary fiber and other ingredients,such as multi-vitamin. When used together, it can provide balanced nutrition for the human body while satisfying low fat and high protein. In this study, a 4-week, randomized, double-blind, controlled clinical trial will be conducted to investigate the effects of Light-Fat Rice® combined with Active Peptide® intervention on insulin resistance in overweight/obese diabetic patients and their effects on prognosis,further explaining its intervention mechanism theoretically. Based on a previous review of similar literature studies, 60 of these patients will be enrolled and randomly assigned to the intervention and control groups at 1:1. Among them, the intervention group will be given 80g of Light-Fat Rice® staple food meal as an independent staple food or mixed in the staple food combined with 2 packs Active Peptide®, and the control group was given the same energy-equivalent staple food produced by the same manufacturer daily with 2 packs maltodextrin. Both groups are provided with a same lifestyle guidance by professional physicians based on the "Guidelines for the Prevention and Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes in China 2017", including reasonable diet, exercise guidance, and organization of health education.
