Brief summary: The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of various foods and/or food substances such as fats or proteins on the blood glucose and insulin concentrations in people with and without type 2 diabetes.

Detailed description: Various foods or food substances are given as a test meal. The metabolic response is determined at various times after the administration of the meal (e.g. blood glucose, and other hormones and metabolites).

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:
