The Effect of a Ketone Drink on Blood Glucose Levels in People With Type 2 Diabetes
Investigating the Blood Glucose Lowering Effect of Exogenous Ketone Ingestion in People With Type 2 Diabetes
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 18 Apr 2025
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Ketones are naturally produced by our body and can affect our blood sugar levels. Ketones could be important in the treatment of type 2 diabetes (T2D). The purpose of this research is to determine if a ketone drink can lower blood sugar in people with T2D following a meal. This research will provide new knowledge about the regulation of blood sugar. This may also inform if ketone drinks could be used as a treatment for T2D.
