Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

An initial pilot and feasibility study will be conducted using a Sequential, Multiple Assignment, Randomized Trial (SMART) design to identify acceptable and effective dietary strategies to optimize both glycemic control and weight management in young adults with Type 1 diabetes (T1D). This pilot trial will include a ten-and-a-half month behavioral intervention, with co-primary outcomes of glycemic control (HbA1C and hypoglycemia) and weight loss. The pilot trial will assess acceptability and adherence to three distinct, evidence-based dietary approaches designed to address weight management and glycemic control. Behavioral counseling strategies, use of carbohydrate counting for insulin dosing, and encouragement of physical activity will be the same across the three dietary approaches.

COVID-19 PROVISIONS: Due to restrictions in place on in-person visits due to COVID-19 precautions, some subjects may remain in the study longer than 10.5 months. As of June 2020, the study transitioned to a completely virtual format. Those who were due for a measurement visit during the time that research activities were halted, prior to the approval of the virtual procedures, remained on the diet they were currently assigned to, supported by bi-weekly Registered Dietitian (RD) counseling, until they were able to be scheduled for a virtual visit.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Behavioral: Hypocaloric, low carbohydrate diet
  • Behavioral: Hypocaloric, moderate low fat diet
  • Behavioral: Mediterranean diet, no caloric restriction
N/A

Detailed Description

Eight-four participants will be randomized in total; 42 at the University of North Carolina (UNC), 42 at Stanford.

COVID-19 Provisions: Due to impacts of COVID-19, the study was forced to cease recruitment early. 40 subjects were randomized at UNC and 29 were randomized at Stanford, for a total of 69 subjects across sites.

Procedures (methods):
Three distinct dietary approaches will be tested. Dietary approaches are as follows:

Diet 1: hypocaloric, moderate low fat (30% calories from fat) weight management based on the Look AHEAD study Diet 2: hypocaloric, low carbohydrate (15-20% calories from carbohydrate, 59-63% as total fat (<10% saturated fat, at least 37% monounsaturated fat, remaining as polyunsaturated fat) Diet 3: advice to select a healthy Mediterranean dietary pattern with no caloric restriction

Participants will complete measurement visits at baseline (-14 days), 3 mos, 6.5 mos, and 10 mos. All visits transitioned to a virtual format as of 6/2020 due to COVID-19 provisions.

Participants will complete a total of 23 intervention sessions over an approximately 10-and-a-half month period (Eight longer sessions (teleconference) and 15 telephone check-ins)

Participants will be randomized to one of the three diets for a minimum of a three-and-a-half month period. Re-randomization is possible following the 3 month and/or 6.5 month measurement visits. Re-randomization is based on acceptability of diet (self-report), non-severe hypoglycemic events (self-report), and not achieving significant weight change (defined as losing at least 2% of body weight from previous study visit), and worsening glycemic control (increase in Hemoglobin A1c of >/= 0.5% from previous study visit). Re-randomization will occur after the 14-day continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) wear period that will be initiated at each measurement visit.

Intervention Model:
Sequential Assignment
Intervention Model Description:
This initial pilot and feasibility study uses a Sequential, Multiple Assignment, Randomized Trial (SMART) design to identify acceptable and effective dietary strategies to optimize both glycemic control and weight management. The study will be done at UNC and Stanford. Sequential randomization will occur at 0, 3.5, and 7 months. Following the baseline measurement visit and two week run-in period, participants will be randomized to one of three diets (stratified by site with block size of 4). Using a priori decision rules at 3.5 and 7 months post-initial randomization, those for whom the assigned diet is not acceptable or effective will be re-randomized (or re-assigned if only one diet remains untried). 10.5 months of follow-up time allows for evaluation of the effect of diets on initial weight loss and on early maintenance of initial weight loss. Decision criteria for re-randomization will incorporate clinical outcomes (glycemic control and weight change) and acceptability of the diet.This initial pilot and feasibility study uses a Sequential, Multiple Assignment, Randomized Trial (SMART) design to identify acceptable and effective dietary strategies to optimize both glycemic control and weight management.

    Outcome Measure Data

    Analysis Population Description
    Completers for each diet period were participants who had sufficient data to be rerandomized. However, one participant on the Mediterranean diet who had insufficient data to be rerandomized had available weight data and was included in the weight analysis. Therefore, there is one more participant assigned to the Mediterranean diet for the weight analysis.

    Comments The proposed sample size of n=72 was sufficient to ensure 60% power to detect a moderate effect size (Cohen h=0.68) and 80% to detect a large effect size (Cohen h=0.85) at a significance level of 0.10 for comparing difference in change among the 3 diets. By design, our primary goal for this pilot work is to inform the final efficacy design of a fully powered SMART, and the pilot SMART was therefore not designed to be fully powered for all analyses.

    15. Secondary Outcome
    Title Change in Time in Target Glucose Range - Randomization 3
    Description Change in percent of time spent in a pre-defined range of relative euglycemia (70-180 mg/dl, for a person with Type 1 diabetes) during CGM wear time, will be assessed between the two weeks of wear from CGM insertion at Measurement 3 Visit and from CGM insertion at Measurement 4 Visit.
    Time Frame 2 weeks of wear from 6.5 Month (Measurement 3) Visit, 2 weeks of wear from 10 Month (Measurement 4) Visit

    Outcome Measure Data

    Analysis Population Description
    The number of participants analyzed is fewer than the number of participants who completed the randomization period in each diet group due to missing data for continuous glucose monitoring.
    Arm/Group Title Hypocaloric, Low Carbohydrate Hypocaloric, Moderate Low Fat Mediterranean, no Caloric Restriction
    Arm/Group Description Behavioral intervention to include lifestyle counseling on hypocaloric, low carbohydrate diet (15-20% calories from carbohydrate, 59-63% as total fat (<10% saturated fat, at least 37% monounsaturated fat, remaining as polyunsaturated fat). Using a priori decision rules at 3.5 and 7 months post-initial randomization, those for whom the diet assigned is not acceptable or is not effective will be re-randomized. Behavioral intervention to include lifestyle counseling on hypocaloric, moderate low fat diet (30% calories from fat) weight management based on the Look AHEAD study. Using a priori decision rules at 3.5 and 7 months post-initial randomization, those for whom the diet assigned is not acceptable or is not effective will be re-randomized. Behavioral intervention to include lifestyle counseling on selecting a healthy Mediterranean diet, no caloric restriction. Using a priori decision rules at 3.5 and 7 months post-initial randomization, those for whom the diet assigned is not acceptable or is not effective will be re-randomized.

    Adverse Events

    Time Frame 10.5 months per the study design, although participants who did not complete the study prior to the pandemic were monitored for a mean of 12.7 months due to study delays resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.
