Protein shake may protect muscle during diabetes Weight-Loss treatment
NCT ID NCT07271043
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a special high-protein shake can help overweight or obese adults with type 2 diabetes preserve lean muscle mass when they start taking GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic or Mounjaro. About 60 participants will be randomly assigned to drink the shake or follow standard care. The main goal is to see if the shake prevents muscle loss during weight reduction.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- high-protein diabetes specific formula (HP-DSF) shake
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could show that adding a high-protein shake helps people with type 2 diabetes keep their muscle while losing weight on GLP-1 drugs.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 60 participants. The supplement may not significantly preserve muscle, and results may not apply to everyone with diabetes.
