Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Dietary intake is a central determinant of blood glucose concentrations therefore to maintain these concentrations within normal values, it is important to make adequate decisions regarding food, to induce a normal PPGRs. There are several methods to control the PPGRs such as the carbohydrate count which depends on the phenotypic characteristics of the patient. Other methods aimed at estimating the PPGRs like the glycemic index, which quantifies the PPGR derived from the consumption of a single type of food already tested, having limited applicability in the evaluation of the PPGR in real life where food is a set of different types and amounts of food, which are consumed at different times of the day under different conditions of sleep, physical activity and other activities of daily life that alter glucose concentrations.
Studies have shown inter and intrapersonal differences in PPGRs after consuming the same amount of the same food. Factors that can affect interpersonal differences in PPGRs include genetics, lifestyle, and insulin sensitivity. Another factor that may be involved is the gut microbiota.
The objective of this study is to evaluate whether the changes in the intestinal microbiota generated through a nutritional strategy based on functional foods, modifies postprandial glycemic responses in subjects with prediabetes and obesity, which in turn may generate a personalized dietary intervention through a prediction of postprandial blood glucose levels by an algorithm based-diet. This nutritional strategy consists of providing a set of functional foods such as nopal, chia, soy, inulin and the isoflavone genistein, since there is evidence that these foods lower blood glucose concentrations and modify the intestinal microbiota. A clinical trial will be conducted with 100 adults with prediabetes and obesity who meet the inclusion criteria. These patients will be divided into two groups of 50 each and their glucose will be continuously monitored with a continuous glucose monitor which will be taking glucose concentrations every 15 min. The patients will have one of two treatments; placebo or nutritional strategy with functional foods. They will be determined before and after monitoring: anthropometric and biochemical parameters, food consumption, physical activity, lifestyle, metabolites in urine as well as determination of the composition of the intestinal microbiota.
