Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
It is important for people with type 2 diabetes to keep blood glucose concentrations under control. Many Asians eat rice as a staple food and are reluctant to change dietary habits. We would bulk rice up with foods that elicit a smaller glycaemic response than the rice (beans, peas, corn grits, whole barley, whole oats) as an acceptable alternative to rice alone. Our hypothesis is that for equal sized portions, the mixed grains would elicit a smaller post-meal glycaemic response. The intervention will comprise participants consuming two cups of white rice or two cups of a rice mix that includes other grains and legumes. The meals will be consumed one week apart and the order that the meals will be eaten will be randomized to each participant. The meals will be cooked and served as an evening meal and consumed at the study premises.

Lifestyle
Comparator / control treatment
This is a crossover study in which each participant acts as his or her own control. Postprandial glycaemia measured three hours after eating a meal consisting of rice, other grains and legumes will be compared with postprandial glycaemia following the consumption of a meal of white rice. The comparator and control meals will have the same volume of two cups. There will be one week between treatments.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 286688 0
Postprandial blood glucose concentration as assessed by Hemocue glucose meter using capillary blood
Timepoint [1] 286688 0
Measurements taken at fixed intervals for 3 hours after eating. Capillary blood will be sampled before eating the meal (time 0 or baseline) and subsequently at 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120,150 and 180 min after eating.
Primary outcome [2] 286689 0
Postprandial satiety as assessed by visual analogue scale
Timepoint [2] 286689 0
Measurements taken at fixed intervals for 3 hours after eating. Visual analogue scales will be filled in before eating the meal (time 0 or baseline) and subsequently at 30, 60, 90, 120,150 and 180 min after eating.

Study design
Purpose of the study
Educational / counselling / training
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
People on a diabetes register will be invited to participate. The person enrolling the participants will be unaware of which treatment (rice or the rice mix) the participant will be started on. Treatment allocation will be managed by another investigator based on a predetermined randomization. ie: as participants are enrolled he or she will receive a study ID from 1 to 36. The order in which each participant consumes the meals will be held on a computer remote from the person enrolling the participants. Eighteen of the participants will have rice as the first meal and 18 the rice mix as the first meal.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Simple randomisation by using a randomization table created by computer software
Masking / blinding
Open (masking not used)
