Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Unmilled wholegrain intervention: We will provide a free delivery of unmilled wholegrain foods delivered to the participants door each fortnight for 12 weeks. Examples are 1kg whole oats, five loaves of 700g wholegrain bread with intact grains, and 1kg brown rice. We will advice participants to replace the grain foods that they normally consume with the wholegrain foods provided. In line with New Zealand dietary guidelines we will not set a maximum number of serves of whole grain per day. There is no other lifestyle advice given. Intervention adherence will be assessed by Food Frequency Questionnaire, four day food diary, and alkylresorcinols as a metabolite measure of wholegrain intake from a dried blood spot pre and post intervention. All participants continue to receive usual care through their general practice during the study, which may include pharmacological and lifestyle management.

Comparator / control treatment
Milled wholegrain intervention: We will provide a free delivery of milled wholegrain foods delivered to the participants door each fortnight for 12 weeks. Examples are 1kg instant oats, five loaves of 700g wholegrain bread with finely milled flour, and 1kg extruded pasta made with brown rice. We will advice participants to replace the grain foods that they normally consume with the wholegrain foods provided. In line with New Zealand dietary guidelines we will not set a maximum number of serves of whole grain per day. There is no other lifestyle advice given.Intervention adherence will be assessed by Food Frequency Questionnaire, four day food diary, and alkylresorcinols as a metabolite measure of wholegrain intake from a dried blood spot pre and post intervention.

Efficacy
Statistical methods / analysis
We based an estimate of the sample size on a power calculation with an alpha of 0.05 and power of 0.80 to detect a between-group difference of 4.0 mmol/mol in glycated haemoglobin. We require 60 participants to complete each intervention. We intend to over-recruit to allow for drop out and better consider the secondary outcomes by enrolling 80 participants per intervention. Data will be analysed according to intention to treat. A mixed model will be used to analyse the data and consider potential interaction effects.
