Breakfast shake may tame blood sugar spikes in overweight adults
NCT ID NCT06856460
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether replacing breakfast with a low glycemic index shake helps overweight and obese adults manage their blood sugar. 46 non-diabetic adults aged 25-65 with a BMI between 25 and 40 took part. For two weeks, they either drank the shake or ate oat cereal for breakfast, and researchers measured their glucose and insulin responses. The goal was to see if the shake leads to better blood sugar control compared to a standard breakfast.
