Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Participants will come to the Human Nutrition Unit (University of Auckland) fasted. This study is of a cross-over design and thus participants will need to come on two separate occasions within a 6-day period.
Day 1 (Human Nutrition Unit): Participants will be given breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Blood glucose, insulin, and free fatty acids will taken after each meal at set time points (up to 180 mins). [Intervention Arm 1]
Day 2 (home): Participants are given breakfast, lunch and dinner to eat at home (same meals as day before). Participants will be monitored via a continuous glucose monitoring system
Day 3: wash-out
Day 4: wash-out
Day 5 (Human Nutrition Unit): Participants will not be given breakfast, but lunch and dinner. Blood glucose, insulin, and free fatty acids will taken after each meal at set time points (up to 180 mins). [Intervention Arm 2]
Day 6 (home): Participants are given breakfast, lunch and dinner to eat at home. Participants will be monitored via a continuous glucose monitoring system

Order of treatment will be determined by randomisation. Each clinic day will be approximately 10 hours. Each participant will wear the continuous glucose monitor for the entire 6-day period.

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner will be given at 0845h, 1245h, 1745h; respectively at HNU. Participants will be asked to consume meals at the same time when they are at work/home.
All meals will be 3MJ, ~55% carbohydrate, ~25% fat, ~15% protein, ~3-5% fibre.

Intervention adherence will be assessed via the CGMS. A log will be provided with the CGMS, to record calibration measurements, food intake, medications, and activity. If outliers are present in the CGMS data (due to poor compliance), the participant may be asked to repeat the intervention.

Comparator / control treatment
The control treatment is that the participants eat breakfast, thus the overnight fast is not prolonged.
