Intervention Effects of Optimized Carbohydrate Diet in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes
Sponsor: Shanghai 6th People's Hospital
Summary
This study is a multi-center, randomized, crossover investigator-initiated trial conducted at Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital and other centers. Each participant will undergo two 12-week dietary intervention phases, separated by a 6-week washout, for a total study duration of 30 weeks. Participants will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to one of two intervention order: (1) optimized carbohydrate diet-washout-conventional diabetes diet, or (2) conventional diabetes diet-washout-optimized carbohydrate diet. The optimized carbohydrate diet is a modified diet with adjusted carbohydrate composition and proportions, while the conventional diabetes diet adheres to an energy-matched protocol in accordance with diabetes dietary guidelines. The study aims to explore the effects of the optimized carbohydrate diet on blood glucose control and glucose metabolism in patients with type 2 diabetes, and to systematically assess its impact on cognitive function and a range of physiological and psychological indicators (such as depression, anxiety, appetite, sleep, bowel habits and others).

optimized carbohydrate diet
In this dietary pattern, 50-60% of total energy is derived from carbohydrates, 15-20% from protein, and 25-30% from fat. Among the carbohydrates, resistant starch (RS) constitutes 15-20% of daily starch intake (around 40 g/day), slowly digestible starch (SDS) 5%, rapidly digestible starch (RDS) 75-80%, with dietary fiber at 20-40g per 1000 kcal and free sugars contributing less than 5% of total energy.
conventional diabetes diet

Among the carbohydrates, resistant starch (RS) constitutes 5% of daily starch intake, slowly digestible starch (SDS) 5%, rapidly digestible starch (RDS) 90%, with dietary fiber at 14g per 1000 kcal and free sugars contributing less than 5% of total energy.
