WE ARE CURRENTLY CONDUCTING THE FOLLOWING STUDY
Effects of peanut and peanut butter consumption on blood lipids and glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes Background: Study description: Sixty participants have been assigned to either a control diet (moderate fat with no peanuts or peanut butter) or an intervention diet (moderate fat supplemented with 32 grams of peanuts or 2 Tbsp of peanut butter per day). All participants are provided with an individualized portion-controlled meal plan using the American Dietetic Association food exchange with the oversight of a registered dietitian and certified diabetes educator. Participants are following the assigned diet for six months and make six visits to the study center for anthropometric measurements. At week 12 and week 24, blood is drawn from each participant. Upon completion by all participants biological samples and anthropometic measurements will be analyzed. Results are expected for publication in early 2011.
