Trial Review

Please note the ANZCTR will be unattended from Friday 20 December 2024 for the holidays. The Registry will re-open on Tuesday 7 January 2025. Submissions and updates will not be processed during that time.

To achieve prospective registration, we recommend submitting your trial for registration at the same time as ethics submission.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
People with type 2 diabetes will be given food for four days to cover breakfast, lunch and dinner. For two of the days they will eat low glycaemic index foods, for the other two days high glycaemic index foods. The order of the low and high glycaemic index periods will be randomized to each person. The low glycaemic index foods will be Kelloggs Special K breakfast cereal, Vogels Soy and Linseed bread for lunch, and Watties Chicken Penne pasta frozen meal for dinner. The corresponding food on the high glycaemic index days will be Sanitarium Weetbix, Natures Fresh white bread and Watties rice and chicken frozen meal. The foods were chosen to have the same available carbohydrate content. ie: the frozen rice and pasta meals contained equivalent carbohydrate; the slices of Vogels and Natures Fresh bread contained equivalent carbohydrate; and the amount od Special K consumed was matched for carbohydrate content with the number of Weetbix biscuits. In recognition that different people eat different amounts of food, each person was free to choose the amount (ie: 2 slices or 4 slices of bread at lunch). However, if a person ate four white slices during the high glycaemic index phase then they were told to eat four Vogels slices during the low glycaemic index phase. The same principles applied to breakfast and dinner meals (people will be supplied with two of each frozen meal per day with a choice to consume one or both, if one meal is sufficient then one pasta meal will be consumed each of the low glycaemic index days and one rice meal on each of the high glycaemic index days). Bread fillings and any additional snack foods will be weighed and recorded. During this period, interstitial glucose concentrations will be measured with a continuous glucose monitoring device. The low and high glycaemic index periods will be consecutive with no washout.
Intervention code [1] 286235 0
Lifestyle
Comparator / control treatment
This is a randomized crossover study in which glycaemic responses will be compared in each person between two days of eating low glycaemic index foods compared with two days of eating high glycaemic index foods. Both periods will hold equal weight in this comparison.
Control group
Active

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 288543 0
Postprandial and day-long glycaemia as assessed using a continuous glucose monitor
Timepoint [1] 288543 0
Interstitial glucose measurements taken every 5 minutes for a period of 96 hours. The start time of the monitoring will be at the commencement of the first meal and the end time will occur 3 hours after starting the last meal. ie: monitoring occurs continuously during the entire four day period.
Secondary outcome [1] 300428 0
Reproducibility of repeated day-long glycaemia. Incremental area under the blood glucose curve (iAUC) after each meal and for each day (24 hour period) will be calculated from the continuous monitoring data for each person using the trapezoidal method.
Timepoint [1] 300428 0
Comparison between two days readings. The group average of the two days low glycaemic index iAUC will be compared with the average iAUC during the high glycaemic index period using repeated measures ANOVA.

Study design
Purpose of the study
Treatment
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Volunteers will respond to advertisement and be given an information sheet in which the aims and procedures of the study are described. Allocation to treatment order will be by coin toss so that neither the participant nor the investigator is aware of treatment order at enrolment. ie: the person who determined if a subject was eligible for inclusion in the trial was unaware as to whether the person would start on the low or high glycaemic index diet before swapping over to the alternative.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
There was no allocation concealment. The starting diet was determined by coin toss.
Masking / blinding
Open (masking not used)

Statistical methods / analysis
Data will assessed for normal distribution and transformed if necessary.
ANOVA will be used to test for differences in glycaemia between treatments.
Reliability of the measure will be assessd using intraclass correlation coefficient
