Impact of Dark Chocolate Consumption on Glucose Levels of People With Diabetes
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Dark chocolate for Type 2 Diabetes and Type 1 Diabetes. Completed, enrolled 14 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Diabetes is a growing concern in the world with an estimated 9.3% of adults, ages 20-79, with it in 2019, type 2 diabetes accounting for 90% of this total. A common recommendation for individuals with diabetes is to limit sugars and sweets as it may cause a high blood glucose response. As a result, chocolate is often avoided due to the sugar content; though, high-polyphenol chocolate may have a beneficial effect on hyperglycaemia and vascular function. The sugar-free chocolate from Ross Chocolates is formulated with a blend of inulin, erythritol, and stevia. These alternatives to sugar are not expected to cause a significant change in blood glucose levels following consumption. The main objective of this study is to verify glucose levels before and after consumption of Ross Chocolates' blend of sweeteners dark chocolate and conventional chocolate in people with diabetes.
