About this study

Official title: Community Trial to Assess the Effect of Nutritional Intervention Models on Medical Outcomes Among Obese Type 2 Diabetic Patients

Obese patients with type 2 diabetes often fail to loose weight and thus do not succeed in improving their sugar and lipid profiles and remain at high risk for diabetes complications

The study enrolled 259 obese diabetic patients attending HMO clinics in central Israel. Over a 6 month period the participants met with a dietitian every fortnight and attended group lectures every 2 months.

The objective of this intervention was to compare three dietary intervention along with close monitoring of the patients by dietitians, regarding blood lipid and sugar balance as well as weight loss. The three diets are the American Diabetes Association (ADA) diet from 2003; a diet containing low glycemic index carbohydrate otherwise similar to the ADA diet; and a low glycemic index diet with more fat than the other 2 diets with high proportion of mono-unsaturated fatty acids.

Patients were individually randomized to receive one of the three diets. Among the measures obtained every 3 months for the first year and every 6 months thereafter are weight, fasting insulin and glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, blood and urine chemistry profiles and lipid profile.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • MUFA dietBehavioural

    Patients were advised to consume 23 cal/kg/day. The diet contained sodium (up to 3000mg/day), potassium (more than 3000 mg/day), calcium (around 1300 mg/day) and magnesium (more than 800 mg/day). MUFA diet included only low glycemic index carbohydrates. The diet consisted of 35% carbohydrates and 45% fat (50% of them were mono-unsaturated fatty acids [MUFA]). Participants were advised to eat 4-6 meals per day according to their lifestyle and to participate in 30-45 min of aerobic activity at least 3 days a week.

  • ADA 2003Behavioural

    Patients were advised to consume 23 cal/kg/day. The diet contained sodium (up to 3000mg/day), potassium (more than 3000 mg/day), calcium (around 1300 mg/day) and magnesium (more than 800 mg/day). The carbohydrates are with mixed glycemic index. The diet contains 50-55% carbohydrates, 30% fat and 15-20% protein. Participants were advised to eat 4-6 meals per day according to their lifestyle and to participate in 30-45 min of aerobic activity at least 3 days a week.

  • Low Glycemic index (LGI) dietBehavioural

    Patients were advised to consume 23 cal/kg/day. The diet contained sodium (up to 3000mg/day), potassium (more than 3000 mg/day), calcium (around 1300 mg/day) and magnesium (more than 800 mg/day). LGI diet included only low glycemic index carbohydrates. The diet consisted of 50-55% carbohydrates, 30% fat and 20%. protein. Participants were advised to eat 4-6 meals per day according to their lifestyle and to participate in 30-45 min of aerobic activity at least 3 days a week.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Weight, BMI, waist hip circumference, insulin resistance using HOMA (fasting glucose to fasting insulin ration), HDL-Cholesterol level.

    Measured: baseline, every 3 months in year 1, every 6 months therafter

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing MUFA diet, ADA 2003 and Low Glycemic index (LGI) diet in people with Diabetes Type 2, run by Ben-Gurion University of the Negev at 1 site in Israel.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Sep 2007. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Israel. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Triglyceride level, glycated hemoglobin level, fasting plasma glucose (time frame: baseline and every 3 months during year 1, every 6 months therafter). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00520182, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 20 Sep 2007.
