About
This study will be conducted using a randomized, controlled, crossover design with three treatments. The purpose of the study is to determine the effects of diabetes-specific formula on glycemic control in individuals with type 2 diabetes.
Full description
All study participants will be asked to attend a test session where their glycemic, insulinemic and satiety response to a test meal will be measured, followed by a seven-day washout period where they will not receive or consume any study meal during this period. This cycle will be repeated until all participants complete three test sessions.

Inclusion criteria
-
Age ≥ 21 and ≤ 65 years.
-
Participant has type 2 diabetes as evidenced by use of oral antihyperglycemic medication(s), except for DPP-4 inhibitors, with constant dose for at least two months prior to screening and baseline visit.

Participant is able to maintain medication number, type and dose throughout the duration of study.
-
Participant is willing to follow protocol as described, including consumption of study product per protocol and completing any forms needed throughout the study.
-
Participant has at least a two-week washout period between completion of a previous research study that required ingestion of any study food or drug and their start in the current study.
-
Participant is willing to refrain from taking non-study diabetes-specific formulas over the entire course of the study.
-
Participant has voluntarily signed and dated an Informed Consent Form (ICF), approved by an Independent Ethics Committee/Institutional Review Board (IEC/IRB) prior to any participation in the study.
