NCT02052037

Brief Summary

We propose a prospective, randomized, single-blind controlled crossover study to assess the effects of daily egg inclusion versus egg exclusion, on glycemic control, anthropometric measures, and overall diet quality in adults with Type 2 diabetes.

Study Arms (2)

Egg inclusion

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants will meet with a registered dietitian and receive instructions for including 2 eggs per day (10 to 14 eggs/week) in their meal plan, while preserving an isocaloric condition relative to the egg exclusion phase. The study dietitian will provide individualized guidance to participants on how to make room for eggs in their diet, while giving them latitude in determining how to adjust for the extra calories from the eggs, to better approximate real-world conditions.

Dietary Supplement: Egg inclusion

Egg exclusion

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants will meet with the dietitian and receive relevant meal planning guidance and instructions to avoid eggs and specific egg-containing products. During both intervention phases, study participants will be advised to eat to their usual state of fullness, and dietary monitoring and weighing will be conducted to ensure that an isocaloric condition is maintained.
