This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
Researchers are testing a new type of pasta enriched with carob flour to see how it affects blood sugar levels. The study has two parts: one with healthy adults and one with people who have type 1 diabetes. The goal is to understand whether carob-enriched pasta causes a smaller or slower rise in blood sugar compared to regular pasta and white bread.
People with diabetes need to carefully manage their blood sugar to stay healthy. If this pasta causes a slower or smaller increase in blood sugar, it could be a helpful food choice for managing diabetes and blood sugar control in everyone.

You will visit the research center on separate days over either 3 months (if you're healthy) or 12 months (if you have type 1 diabetes). On each visit, you'll eat a test meal — either carob-enriched pasta, regular pasta, or white bread — all prepared the same way with tomato sauce. Your blood sugar will be measured before and after eating to see how your body responds. If you're in the diabetes study, you'll wear a continuous glucose monitor to track your levels throughout the day.
