About this study
Official title: A Randomized Controlled Pilot Study of the Food Order Behavioral Intervention in Prediabetes
Investigators have previously shown that eating carbohydrates after protein or vegetables resulted in reduced glucose and insulin excursions over 180 min in patients with T2DM and in individuals with prediabetes as well. This is an open label, randomized controlled pilot study to assess the efficacy of carbohydrate-last food order behavior in reducing the risk of progression to type 2 diabetes (T2DM).
Read the detailed description
Intensive diet and lifestyle modifications have been shown to reduce the risk of progression to T2DM in several randomized controlled trials. Key components of standard nutritional counseling include reducing calorie intake and glycemic load. Sequential nutrient ingestion is a novel strategy found to attenuate the glycemic effect of a meal. Investigators have previously shown that ingestion of carbohydrates after protein or vegetables results in reduced glucose and insulin excursions over 180 min in patients with T2DM. In addition, investigators also found that levels of the hunger hormone ghrelin were more suppressed at the end of 3 hours after a meal. Furthermore, investigators found that the glycemic effects of food order apply to individuals with prediabetes as well. This study follows previous research on nutrient order and seeks to determine the metabolic effects of this behavioral intervention in the real world. The study will include two randomized groups who are overweight or obese and are diagnosed with prediabetes. The control group will receive standard nutritional counseling at the start of the study and no instructions to change food order behavior. The intervention group will receive regularly scheduled food order counseling over a period of 16 weeks in addition to standard nutritional counseling at baseline. Anthropometric and metabolic parameters, including insulin sensitivity, will be assessed at baseline and at 16 weeks. The primary aim of this study is to determine the proportion of subjects who achieve 15% or greater improvement in 2 hour glucose on OGTT at 16 weeks. If shown to be effective, this data will inform the design of larger study focused on diabetes prevention.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Proportion of participants achieving a normal 2-hour glucose (less than 140mg/dl) and/ or greater than or equal to 15% improvement in 2-hour glucose (time frame: 16 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 3 Feb 2022.
