Details and patient eligibility

About

The investigators hypothesized that consuming isolated yellow pea fibre or protein, alone to together, as part of a high-carbohydrate pasta meal, would reduce the blood glucose response to the meal compared to a meal without yellow pea components and reduce food intake at a meal served 2 hours later.
