Clinical papers were not read directly; existing review summaries were checked. No new clinical-literature search was performed. Unverified does not mean that research is absent or that there is no effect.

## Assessment scope

- Population: Stored material concerns adults with type 2 diabetes in a non-insulin-treated context. Acute 15-person and 7-day 18-person samples belong to separate reports and are not summed. Study-specific eligibility, baseline medication, HbA1c, renal/complication status and period-specific completion/analysis denominators are unverified.
- Ingredient, formulation and route: Within the parent record’s whey preload 10–30 minutes before meals, preserve acute 50 g at 30 minutes before a meal and a premeal 15.6 g protein drink as research identifiers. Product, formulation and actual intake remain separately unverified. Whey plus guar and MCT plus WPI are different combination interventions.
- Dose: Preserve only original acute 50 g and premeal 15.6 g protein-drink wording. Do not turn 15.6 g into total drink volume or an effective dose for all products. No new daily/cumulative doses, intake sequence or dosing instructions are calculated or created.
- Comparator: Acute control-drink details are unverified. The 7-day test drink at approximately 100 kcal and control at approximately 34 kcal form a non-isocaloric comparison. This does not certify an isolated ingredient effect at equal calories; no new calorie difference or cumulative calories are calculated.
- Measured outcome: Distinguish acute 180-minute glucose response 28% lower, insulin 105% higher and a GLP-1 increase. The 7-day glucose iAUC 1.6±0.6 versus 2.1±0.9/P=.003 is not the exact value/P for time metrics. Units, the meaning of ±, direct effects/CIs and denominators are unverified. Null primary 24-hour/daytime iAUC for MCT plus WPI is a separate combination result.
- Duration: Distinguish 180 minutes after an acute meal from 7 days of free-living exposure. The combination report’s 24-hour/daytime endpoints do not establish long-term follow-up duration. Long-term whey-only HbA1c, complications, medication reduction and post-intervention effects are not directly established.
- Questions outside this scope: Transferring acute/7-day surrogates or mechanistic hormones into long-term HbA1c, complications or medication reduction; Certifying a non-isocaloric comparison as an isolated ingredient effect at equal calories; Substituting MCT plus WPI or whey plus guar for whey alone; Summing shared reports, crossover periods or repeated measurements into new unique-trial, participant or independent-replication totals; Filling original subclaim-C missing values from parent C50, axes or a new verdict; Creating new effects, CIs, dose/calorie totals, dosing instructions, medication changes or treatment guidance

- Materials to obtain first: Methods, registration/protocol/SAP, original analysis tables and change history. A design label does not establish official RoB/GRADE certification or completed review.
- Further research: Material needed: Methods, registration/protocol/SAP, original analysis tables and change history. A design label does not establish official RoB/GRADE certification or completed review. This records needed materials; no new research was executed.
- Conditions for verification: Material for Original study designs and detailed bias conditions must be linked to the selected subclaim, parent context, same report/trial, outcome units, times, actual comparator and denominators, distinguishing unread external material.
- Why this condition is needed: This condition connects Original study designs and detailed bias conditions with short-term postprandial glucose for whey, report-specific populations and denominators, acute versus several-day exposure, comparator calories, glucose versus hormones, outcome hierarchy, combinations, support and harms.

## What the statuses mean

- Partly verified: Some information is present in the stored source, with detailed original materials still unverified; this does not mean review passed or clinical efficacy certified
- Unverified: Detailed materials for the selected condition could not be established within the stored scope; this does not mean zero effect, zero studies or safety
- Review incomplete: Awaiting user review
- Met: Use only within the relevant condition's scope after user review; no automatic display in this preparation
- Not reported: Distinguish only within materials actually read; do not turn unread external materials into unreported findings
- Inaccessible: Not applied during this preparation because actual access was not tested
- Not applicable: Use with a reason for non-applicability based on an explicit question boundary
- Conflicting data: Judge after actual material comparison; review was not performed during this preparation
- Insufficient evidence for the conditions: Do not use as a clinical grade encompassing currently unread materials
