De Montfort University Leicester (DMU) prides itself on conducting a range of research beneficial to society.
Academics from the department of Health and Life Sciences are currently conducting a study to discover which breakfast portion size is the most adequate to sustain appetite perception, regulation, and the total energy intake in people with type 2 diabetes and compare this to non-diabetic people.
The study involves self-reporting data to the researcher and is composed of 2 stages. Both stages are optional, and you can withdraw at any time. Stage 1 consists of an online questionnaire about your appetite perception to three photos of breakfast portions and how full you would feel if you were to consume them. You will also be asked about your eating behaviour, lifestyle and provide height and weight.
Stage 2 involves consuming three different portion sizes of a prescribed breakfast on alternative days in the comfort of your own home and provide appetite perception measures along with a food record for the day.
They are recruiting individuals with type 2 diabetes, as well as non-diabetic individuals, aged 18 to 65, not allergic or intolerant to the food provided, regularly eating breakfast (4 or more days a week), not taking insulin, not actively engaging on weight loss diets, and not medically diagnosed with eating disorders.
