PDM: Metabolic Syndrome (2013)

Intervention
In adults with metabolic syndrome, what is the impact of vegetable-based protein vs. animal-based protein, independent of weight loss, on glycemic-related outcomes (such as fasting blood glucose, random blood glucose, two-hour post-prandial blood glucose, A1C)?
- Conclusion
  There were no studies identified to evaluate the impact of vegetable-based protein vs. animal-based protein on glycemic-related outcomes in adults with metabolic syndrome.
  
  Intervention studies are needed to ascertain the effects of vegetable-based protein vs. animal-based protein on glycemic-related outcomes in adults with metabolic syndrome with or without meeting the metabolic syndrome criteria for impaired glucose tolerance and impaired fasting glucose.
- Grade: V
  - Grade I means there is Good/Strong evidence supporting the statement;
  - Grade II is Fair;
  - Grade III is Limited/Weak;
  - Grade IV is Expert Opinion Only;
  - Grade V is Not Assignable.
  - High (A) means we are very confident that the true effect lies close to that of the estimate of the effect;
  - Moderate (B) means we are moderately confident in the effect estimate;
  - Low (C) means our confidence in the effect estimate is limited;
  - Very Low (D) means we have very little confidence in the effect estimate.
  - Ungraded means a grade is not assignable.
