Poor glycaemic control is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. There is a need for more refined strategies to more tightly control postprandial glycaemia, particularly in those with type 2 diabetes. Nutritional supplements consumed before a meal may have a role to play in reducing the glycaemic response to that meal and also influencing appetite regulation. In this session, clinical trials data will be presented on the effect of consuming whey protein before a meal on postprandial glycaemia and appetite and opportunities for product development in this area will be discussed.
