Want to know how kiwifruit affects your blood sugar and metabolic rate after eating?
We are looking for people of European descent / Caucasian who are at risk of developing diabetes to join this nutrition study. You will be compensated by vouchers.
Please fill out this form to express your interest:

redcap.fmhs.auckland.ac.nz With a particular interest in diabetes prevention, the Human Nutrition Unit is conducting a new acute study to explore whether consuming kiwifruit can provide additional health benefits beyond its typical nutritional value, especially energy expenditure, blood sugar, and appetite control.

We invite individuals with elevated fasting blood sugar level (pre-diabetes) to participate in a kiwifruit nutrition study.
我们邀请血糖偏高的人群参与一项奇异果营养研究。

Join us to find out whether Chinese (who are more susceptible to diabetes at the same BMI) and European Caucasian responds differently to kiwifruit consumption.
参与研究，以了解华裔（在相同体质指数下更易患糖尿病）和欧洲高加索裔对食用奇异果后的代谢反应是否有所不同。

We are still looking for 2 healthy volunteers to participate in the Whey Protein Beverage Study.

In this study, we will test whether a specially processed dairy-based drink can improve markers of metabolic health (including blood sugar, metabolic rate, gut barrier, and immune function) after a meal.

There is no requirement to change your lifestyle and behaviour throughout the study.

Do YOU want to be part of a groundbreaking nutrition study?

Here at the Human Nutrition Unit, we are investigating how changing the way we eat can help to prevent type 2 diabetes.

DID YOU KNOW... approximately 1 in every 20 people in New Zealand are living with type 2 diabetes AND this number is expected to increase by 70-90% within the next 20 years!

Come and join us in the fight against diabetes now by staying at our research unit!

We will feed you a healthy, nutritious (and delicious!!) diet whilst assessing how the food you are eating impacts markers in your blood that may be putting people at risk of diabetes.

Come and be part of the team - check out our poster below for instructions on how to sign up NOW! 🦸‍♂️
