Funded Activity Summary

Diabetes is an ever increasing problem with serious complications. We will investigate whether glutamine, one of the most common amino acids (protein building blocks) in the body, has a beneficial effect on blood glucose and insulin levels in the body in people who have type 2 (non-insulin dependent) diabetes. If so, glutamine supplementation may represent a novel, cheap and palatable way of improving outcomes and preventing the development of complications in people with type 2 diabetes.
