Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
There are a total of 4 study visits including screening. Visit 1 is the screening visit. Eligible subject must have an HbA1c between 6.5 -10.5% and with HOMA-IR ≥ 2.7 (calculated from fasting insulin and fasting glucose). Visits 2 and 4 are overnight visits during which time a Mixed Meal Tolerance (MMTT) will be performed after an overnight fast. The MMTT requires an indwelling IV catheter so that 11 blood draws can be more comfortably be obtained over a period of 4 hours. At Visit 3,subjects will be evaluated and test product will be replenished. Routine chemistry and hematology testing are done and two time periods during the study and a physical exam is performed at screening
