Oligomalt, a New Slowly Digestible Carbohydrate, Reduces Post-Prandial Glucose and Insulin Trajectories Compared to Maltodextrin across Different Population Characteristics: Double-Blind Randomized Controlled Trials in Healthy Individuals, People with Obesity, and People with Type 2 Diabetes.

ABSTRACT: We assessed the glucometabolic effects of oligomalt, a novel fully slowly digestible carbohydrate, compared with maltodextrin, in cross-over randomized controlled trials (NCT05058144; NCT05963594) involving healthy volunteers (HV), people with overweight or obesity (PwO), and people with type 2 diabetes (T2D). We tested 33 g and/or 50 g of oligomalt/maltodextrin, which were dissolved in 300 mL of water and consumed after fasting in the morning. The primary exploratory endpoint was the incremental area under the curve (iAUC) for postprandial glucose, assessed by frequent blood sampling over 3 h. Insulin levels were also assessed. In the HV cohort, a 4 h hydrogen breath test was performed with 15 g of inulin as a positive control. Analysis was performed by a mixed model. Oligomalt elicited a
