Scientific titleComparison of the long-term effect of reducing the glycaemic index versus reducing the amount of dietary carbohydrate in type 2 diabetes: a randomised controlled trial
Study acronymCCD (Canadian trial of dietary Carbohydrates in Diabetes)
Study objectivesTo compare the effects, in subjects with diabetes treated by diet alone, of reducing glycaemic load by replacing high glycaemic index (GI) starchy foods with low GI starchy foods (i.e. reducing diet GI) versus low carbohydrate foods rich in monounsaturated fat (i.e. reducing the amount of dietary carbohydrate).
Ethics approval(s)University of Toronto Research Ethics Board, St Michael's Hospital gave approval on the 19th December 2001
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedDiabetes mellitus
InterventionGroup 1 - high carbohydrate, high glycaemic index starchy foods (control); duration 12 months
Group 2 - high carbohydrate, low glycaemic index starchy foods; duration 12 months
Group 3 - low carbohydrate foods, high in monounsaturated fat; duration 12 months

Trial details received: 12 Sept 2005
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measureGlycated haemoglobin (A1c) measured at -2 and 0 weeks and at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after randomisation (measure at 12 months is done twice; at 50 and 52 weeks).
Secondary outcome measures1. Fasting plasma: total, low density lipoprotein (LDL) and high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, triglycerides, Apolipoprotein A (Apo A), Apolipoprotein B (Apo B), C-reactive protein (CRP), free fatty acids (FFA), glucose, insulin, acetate, propionate, butyrate all measured at baseline and at 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after randomisation
2. Oral glucose tolerance: area under curve (AUC) for glucose and insulin, two-hour glucose, insulinogenic index measured at baseline and at 3, 6 and 12 months after randomisation. Eight-hour metabolic profile for glucose, insulin, triglycerides and FFA measured at baseline and 12 months after randomisation.
3. Body weight, waist circumference, blood pressure measured at 2 - 4 week intervals throughout the trial
4. Quality of life and activity index measured at baseline and 12 months after randomisation
5. Intakes of carbohydrate, fiber, starch, sugars, total fat, saturated fat, polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA), protein, glycaemic index and glycaemic load measured using a three-day food record two times at baseline and 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after randomisation
