Can a special drink help tame blood sugar in type 2 diabetes?
NCT ID NCT07666581
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will test whether replacing breakfast and a snack with a diabetes-specific nutritional drink (Glucerna) helps people with type 2 diabetes and obesity keep their blood sugar in a healthy range more often. About 198 adults will be randomly assigned to either the drink-based diet or a standard low-calorie diet for three months. Researchers will track blood sugar levels, weight, and other health measures to see if the drink makes a meaningful difference.

Glucerna (a diabetes-specific nutritional drink)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that replacing meals with a specialized nutritional drink helps people with type 2 diabetes and obesity better manage their blood sugar levels.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study that hasn't started recruiting yet. The results may not apply to everyone, and the drink is not a cure—it's a dietary aid that may or may not improve blood sugar control.
