Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • per diabetes, ability to follow diet and study procedures

Exclusion Criteria:

  • on any medications that affect glucose, medical conditions or allergies that affect adherence to study diet, pregnancy

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm 2

Arm Type

Placebo Comparator

Experimental

Arm Label

Regular diet

No-carrageenan diet

Arm Description

Meals and snacks will contain carrageenan in the amount consumed in the typical daily diet and will be selected by the study dietician and distributed to study subjects randomized to the regular diet study arm.

No-carrageenan diet will be composed of meals and snacks selected by the study dietician and distributed to study participants who are randomized to the no-carrageenan diet study arm.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Change in hemoglobin A1c
Measurements performed after 12 weeks of dietary intervention

Secondary Outcome Measures

Change in serum Interleukin-8
Impact of diet on serum Interleukin-8
Impact on glucose tolerance test
perform repeat oral glucose tolerance test after 12 weeks of dietary intervention
Impact on insulin level
determine effect of dietary intervention on insulin level at the time of glucose tolerance test
Change in leukocyte subsets
determine if there is change in distribution of leukocyte subsets from blood samples of study participants
Change in Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha in serum
determine if there is change in circulating TNF-alpha in blood samples
Change in insulin signaling pathway
determine if there are changes in activation of intermediates in insulin signaling pathway in circulating leukocytes following dietary intervention

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Participants will be randomly assigned to either regular or no-carrageenan prepared diets to determine whether the no-carrageenan leads to improvement in glucose tolerance. Hemoglobin A1c is the primary outcome measure.
Detailed Description
Subjects will be randomly assigned to a diet. They will at onset have hemoglobin A1c values between 5.7% and 6.4%. Baseline glucose tolerance test will be performed, as well as measures of inflammation and fecal microbiome. Interim tests will be performed at six weeks. Subjects will participate for 12 weeks, at which time they will be re-evaluated.
