Abstract
A drink for moderating blood glucose levels produced by a meal in a human subject suffering diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) the drink comprising: at least one water soluble or water dispersible compound selected from the group consisting of amino acids, peptides and proteins in a total amount of at least 8g on a dry weight basis per serving of drink; aqueous liquid in an amount of from 70 ml to 400 ml (preferably in an amount of from 100 ml to 250 ml and more preferably from 125 ml to 175 ml) per serving, and wherein the drink exhibits shear banding when subject to the shear banding test herein described.

A drink for moderating blood glucose levels produced by a meal in a human subject suffering diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), the drink comprising:
- at least one water soluble or water dispersible compound selected from the group consisting of amino acids, peptides and proteins in a total amount of at least 8 g on a dry weight basis per serving of drink;
- aqueous liquid in an amount of from 70 ml to 400 ml per serving;
- and wherein the drink exhibits shear banding when subject to the shear banding test herein described.
A kit for providing a serving of a drink for moderating blood glucose levels following a meal in a human subjects suffering diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) the kit comprising:
- at least one serving of water soluble or water dispersible material selected from the group consisting of amino acids, peptides and proteins in a total amount of at least 8 g on a dry weight basis per serving of drink;
- a container having a level indicating a liquid volume of from 70 ml to 400ml;
- a closure for the container;
- and
- a space within the container above the level to allow vigorous mixing prior to consumption wherein the mixing of the powder with water filled to the level provides a drink which exhibits shear banding on a standard rotating cylinder shear banding test as herein described.
