Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Refined Grain Regimen ArmExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
All participants will be randomly assigned to the calorie-matched refined grain daily for the 12-week treatment period, separated by a 2-week washout.The refined grain (100 grams of long grain white rice) regimen will be matched to the potato regimen for calories, carbohydrate and fat content and will both contribute to approximately 100 kilocalories, 22g carbohydrates, and 0.2g of fat. In order to increase participants' compliance, they will be informed of a variety of ways to consume their regimen. The rationale for choosing this amount of potato and rice regimen is based on the common practice of carbohydrate counting practiced by dietitians and diabetes educators in clinical settings, where 45-60 g of carbohydrates should be consumed at each meal and 15-20 g of carbohydrates can be consumed at each snack throughout the day. Long-grain boiled white rice also has a similar glycemic index to that of a baked white potato.
Group II: Potato Regimen ArmExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
All participants will be randomly assigned to receive the potato regimen daily for the 12-week treatment period, separated by a 2-week washout.The potato regimen (75 grams of baked white russet potato with the skin) and refined grain (100 grams of long grain white rice) regimen will be matched for calories, carbohydrate and fat content and will both contribute to approximately 100 kilocalories, 22g carbohydrates, and 0.2g of fat. In order to increase participants' compliance, they will be informed of a variety of ways to consume their regimen. The rationale for choosing this amount of potato and rice regimen is based on the common practice of carbohydrate counting practiced by dietitians and diabetes educators in clinical settings, where 45-60 g of carbohydrates should be consumed at each meal and 15-20 g of carbohydrates can be consumed at each snack throughout the day.
