Screening
To join this study we must make sure you meet the study's eligibility rules. There are four steps.
Step 1. Find your height and weight range on the Body Mass Index (BMI) table. (Click here for table.) If you're weight fits into one of the study weight groups, you may be eligible to join the study. Go on to Step 2
Step 2. Complete the screening questionnaire and send it back to the CARB Study. The questionnaire asks about everyday habits and medical treatments that could affect the study results. (Click here for a printable copy of the screening questionnaire.)
If you qualify, you will be asked to come to the Prevention Center Clinic for one visit to complete the third and fourth steps.
Step 3. We will get an accurate measure of your height and weight. We can only include people who fit one of the study's weight groups.
Step 4. We will make sure you can process carbs normally by measuring the amount of glucose in your blood after a 12-hour overnight fast. This is called a Fasting Blood Glucose (FBG). We will contact you with the results within a week. If the result falls above the normal range or higher than 100 mg/dl, you will not be able to join the study. You may wish to discuss the test results with your doctor.
Within a week, you will be sent a letter with the results of the screening. If you are eligible to join the study, we will phone you to set up a time to meet to discuss the study in more detail. A separate consent form will be used in the Feeding Study.
