German Diabetes-Diet-Intervention and Energy Restriction-Trial (DDIET)

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Type 2 Diabetes
Interventions
Dietary Supplement: diet intervention
Registration Number
NCT01409330
Lead Sponsor
German Diabetes Center
Brief Summary

Diet intervention according to the German Diabetes Risk Score in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes.

This study aims to explore the effect of diet lacking red meat, but containing increased fibers and coffee (verum) versus standard recommendation (control) in a multicenter setting.

Detailed Description

This study is a randomised, multicenter controlled trial Our Aim is to test the effects of an 8-week diet lacking red meat, containing increased fibers and coffee (verum) versus standard recommendation (control)in a multicenter setting.

We are expecting that the verum diet will improve insulin sensitivity and insulin secretion due to reductions in visceral and hepatic fat along with improved adipocyte cytokine secretion profiles

GroupInterventionDescription
hypocaloric diet containing increased fibers and coffeediet interventionIn the intervention group the patients are allowed to eat only white meat and fish. They also need to increase their daily fiber intake to 50grams and drink 5 cups of coffee a day.
hypocaloric diet containing red meatdiet interventioncontrol group (n=20): diet according to the ADA/EASD guidelines (50% carbohydrates, 20% proteins, 30% fat). In the control group the patients should eat 150 grams of red meat a day and are not allowed to consume alcohol, coffee and whole grains.
