Impact of a Targeted Nutritional Intervention on Glycaemic Variability and Correlation Between Glycaemic Parameters and Satiety. (APETIT)

August 14, 2026 updated by: Hospices Civils de Lyon

Impact of a Targeted Nutritional Intervention on Glycaemic Variability

Obesity affects 18% of French adults and increasingly impacts adolescents. Dietary management is challenging, particularly with eating disorders like hyperphagia. The study hypothesizes that glycaemic variability contributes to eating disorders, as blood glucose fluctuations and reactive hypoglycaemia may exacerbate compulsive eating. Currently, no data exists on the relationship between glycaemic profile and satiety in obese adolescents.

This exploratory study will establish foundation for larger research evaluating glucose sensors as therapeutic education tools in obesity management, helping patients understand diet-satiety relationships.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: Adolescents in obesity
  • Adolescents who have begun puberty (Tanner S2+ or G2+)
  • Aged over 12 and under 18
  • Obese, defined by a Body Mass Index (BMI) IOTF > 30
Behavioral: The primary intervention in this study is dietary counseling and education on adopting a low glycaemic index diet with sample menus provided

At Day 14, participants receive dietary counseling from a department dietician focusing on a low glycaemic index diet. The intervention includes:

  • Education on low glycaemic index food choices
  • Provision of sample menus demonstrating low glycaemic index meal planning
  • Guidance on implementing dietary changes to reduce glycaemic variability The intervention aims to modify eating behaviors by teaching participants to select foods that produce smaller, more gradual increases in blood glucose levels, potentially reducing glycaemic excursions and improving satiety.

Duration of intervention effect: 10 days (from Day 10 to Day 20) Monitoring: Participants maintain a food diary recording meal times and food types throughout the study period (Day 0 to Day 20). Continuous glucose monitoring is used to assess glycaemic response before (Day 0-10) and after (Day 10-20) the dietary intervention.

Note: The placement of two CGM sensors serves as a

Device: continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) sensors

Description:

Placement of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) sensors on the back of the participant's dominant arm.

Two sensors are placed during the study:

  • First sensor: Placed at Day 0, worn for 10 days (baseline period)
  • Second sensor: Placed at Day 10 worn for 10 days (post-intervention period) The CGM measures interstitial fluid glucose concentrations in the range of 40 to 500 mg/dL every 5 minutes for 10 days per sensor.

Procedure: Sensors are placed according to manufacturer's recommendations. Participants receive general instructions on sensor maintenance and hygiene.

Purpose: The sensors cross the skin barrier to continuously monitor glucose levels, providing data on:

  • Glycaemic variability (rate of change, coefficient of variation)
  • Time in range (70-140 mg/dL)
  • Time in hypoglycaemia (<70 mg/dL)
  • Time in hyperglycaemia (>140 mg/dL)
  • Average glucose levels
  • Glycaemic excursions

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in Rate of Glycaemic Change (ROC) at Pre- and Post-prandial Time Points
Time Frame: Day 0 to day 10 and Day 10 to day 20
Difference in the rate of change (ROC) in blood glucose levels (mg/dL/min) measured at each pre-prandial and post-prandial time point, comparing the baseline period (Day 0-10) to the post-intervention period (Day 10-20). ROC is calculated from continuous glucose monitoring data collected every 5 minutes. The change will be analyzed using paired statistical tests comparing mean ROC values before and after dietary intervention.
Day 0 to day 10 and Day 10 to day 20

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in Glycaemic Variability Parameters
Time Frame: Day 0 to Day 10 and Day 10 to Day 20
Change in glycemic variability and CGM-derived glucose metrics from baseline to post-intervention
Day 0 to Day 10 and Day 10 to Day 20
Change in Satiety Scores

Change in subjective satiety from baseline (before dietary intervention) to post-intervention, assessed using a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS; 0-100 mm) and the Satiety Labeled Intensity Magnitude (SLIM) Scale.
Day 20
Correlation Between Glycaemic Parameters and Satiety Scores
Time Frame: Day 20
