Impact of a Low-carbohydrate Versus Low-fat Breakfast on Blood Glucose Control in Type 2 Diabetes
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Low-Carb High-Fat breakfast and Low fat "standard care" control breakfast for Dietary Habits. Completed, enrolled 127 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) is increasing worldwide, with \~380 M currently suffering from this chronic, debilitating disease. T2D is characterized by high blood glucose levels in the mornings and after meals. The largest hyperglycemic spike often occurs after breakfast. Targeting this meal may be a simple, feasible strategy to improve glycemic control and reduce risk for diabetes complications. It is hypothesized that consuming a low carbohydrate high fat (LCHF) breakfast for 3 months, when compared to a standard low-fat breakfast will improve blood glucose control, increase satiety and improve body composition in people with T2D. This information will test whether the simple dietary strategy of limiting carbohydrates at breakfast could help in managing T2D.
