Arms Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Nutralin
Individuals with Type 2 Diabetes
 Dietary Supplement: Nutralin
7 capsules taken 15 minutes before each of the three main meals of the day
Placebo Comparator: Placebo
Individuals with Type 2 Diabetes
 Dietary Supplement: Nutralin
7 capsules taken 15 minutes before each of the three main meals of the day

Detailed Description:

The investigational product has helped decrease the amount of insulin needed in treating diabetic dogs and has improved the dogs' longevity and quality of life. Observational analysis by trained veterinarians has indicated that the natural fluctuations in blood glucose levels do not exist in dogs consuming the product. An initial Phase 1 study tested the product in a brownie form. The product has been reformulated to capsule form for the Phase 2 study.

The hypothesis for this study is that diabetic individuals will decrease their insulin/diabetic medication usage and have a decrease in glucose levels after consuming the product for 16 weeks.
