About the study

We’re doing a study at Stanford to understand how different foods or supplements can help keep blood sugar levels steady after eating.

You’ll eat a specific carbohydrate-rich breakfast on several days, each time trying a different “mitigator” — that is, a food or supplement that might help reduce the rise in blood sugar after a meal, like vinegar, fiber, or specific types of protein.

What will I do?

• Meals: You’ll eat a standardized test meal in the morning as your first meal of the day.
• Devices: You’ll wear a small sensor (called a CGM) on your arm to track your blood sugar continuously.
• Samples: You’ll collect small saliva sample and micro-sample of blood before and after the test meals.
• Movement: You’ll try light activity (like walking) after eating on some days to see how it affects your response.
• Real-life test: You’ll also test the same foods in your usual daily setting, not just under study conditions.

Why Participate?

You’ll get insight into how your body responds to food, and your participation will help researchers develop more personalized nutrition strategies to support better health.
