Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension for Diabetes Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating DASH4D diet, comparison diet, and 2 other interventions for Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 and 7 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 105 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The objective of the DASH4D trial is to determine the effects, alone and combined, of (a) the DASH4D diet (a DASH-style diet modified for people with diabetes) vs. comparison diet that is typical of what many Americans with diabetes eat and (b) lower sodium intake vs. higher sodium intake on blood pressure (BP). The core design is a single-site, 4-period, crossover feeding study with 5-week periods. Participants are fed each of four isocaloric diets, presented in random order. The primary contrast of interest is DASH4D diet with lower sodium vs. comparison diet with higher sodium.

Interventions
DASH stands for "Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension". The DASH diet is a healthy dieter that lowers blood pressure. The DASH diet emphasizes fruits, vegetables, and low-fat dairy products; includes whole grains, poultry, fish, and nuts; and is reduced in red meat, sweets, and sugar-containing beverages. The DASH4D dietary pattern is a version of the DASH diet that is lower in carbohydrate.
The comparison dietary pattern is based on a typical American diet, with macronutrient distributions generally at the average of typical US intake, and micronutrient targets generally near the 25th percentile of usual US intake (with the exception of sodium).
