简要总结
The purpose of this pilot research project is to examine the impact of a low-glycemic index (GI) diet on postprandial hypotension and glucose control in individuals with chronic spinal cord injury. The objectives are: 1) To evaluate the effect of the low-GI diet on the magnitude of postprandial systolic blood pressure drop compared to a high-GI control diet. 2)To evaluate the effect of a low-GI diet on postprandial glucose and insulin responses compared to a high-GI control diet.
详细描述
Participants will first come for a screening visit one time, lasting a total of 2.5hours. For this screening visit, each participant will need to fast for 12 hours(go 12 hours without eating from the last meal). During this study visit, each participant will be going through the following tests:
- Urine pregnancy tests (for females)
- Medical History Questionnaire: It will take about 10 minutes, and participants will fill out a 1-page questionnaire about their medical history and medication use
- Each participant will consume a semi-liquid meal within 5 minutes
- Each participant's blood pressure will be measured every 5 minutes before eating, for 15 minutes, and for 2 hours after eating.
After the screening visit, each participant will be coming for study visits on 2 separate mornings, separated by at least 1 week. On these two mornings, the participant will be randomly picked (like the flip of a coin) by a computer to eat the low-glycemic index meal or high-glycemic index meal. After the visit in the morning, the participant will be sent home wearing a blood pressure monitor and blood sugar monitor, along with study meals the participant will be eating for 3 days.
These procedures and tests will be made during these 3-day periods:
At UAB during the morning visit:

盲法说明
The random permuted blocks strategy will be used in this study to randomly allocate an equal number of participants into the two crossover arms by the study statistician. Diet group assignment will be coded (e.g., low-gi diet=diet a; high-gi diet=diet b). Only the kitchen staff preparing the meals will know the code. Study personnel analyzing the biological samples, entering data, and performing statistical analyses will be blinded to the diet group assignment to reduce bias. Due to the nature of dietary studies, participants will not be blinded to the randomization.

结局指标
主要结局
Low-GI Diet on Post-meal Systolic Blood Pressure Change- Diet B- Day 1
时间窗: Free-living condition - Diet B - Day 1
After the in-lab meal test, each participant will be fitted with an ABPM device, the Spacelabs OnTrak device, which has been validated for use in assessing ABP. The first measurement will be obtained at UAB to ensure proper function of the device. The monitors will be programmed to measure BP at 15-minute intervals during the daytime (while participants are awake, e.g., 6 am to 11 pm). Participants will be instructed to keep the monitored arm steady and at heart level during each BP reading. Investigators will utilize the menu checklist to identify the timing of each meal consumed. The magnitude of the PPH will be calculated for each meal, by substracting the nadir of SBP within 2 hours after each meal from the average SBP before each meal.
Post-meal Systolic Blood Pressure Change- Visit 1
时间窗: In-lab testing - Visit 1 - Day 1
SBP will be measured in the temperature-controlled, quiet, dimly lit room. Measurements will be taken using an automated sphygmomanometer every 5 minutes for 20 minutes before, and for 120 minutes after meal intake, with the participant in a sitting position. Investigators will identify the nadir of SBP during the 120-minute postprandial period. The magnitude of the drop in SBP will be calculated by subtracting the nadir value from the resting baseline average value.
Post-meal Systolic Blood Pressure Change- Visit 2
时间窗: In-lab testing - Visit 2 - Day 1
SBP will be measured in the temperature-controlled, quiet, dimly lit room. Measurements will be taken using an automated sphygmomanometer every 5 minutes for 20 minutes before, and for 120 minutes after meal intake, with the participant in a sitting position. Investigators will identify the nadir of SBP during the 120-minute postprandial period.

Low-GI Diet on Post-meal Systolic Blood Pressure Change- Diet A- Day 1
时间窗: Free-living condition - Diet A - Day 1
After the in-lab meal test, each participant will be fitted with an ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) monitoring (ABPM) device, the Spacelabs OnTrak device, which has been validated for use in assessing ABP. The first measurement will be obtained at UAB to ensure proper function of the device. Each participant's ABP will be monitored for a total of 3 days.
