Effect of Discontinuation of Sugar Sweetened Beverages

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Type 2 Diabetes, Obesity

In brief

Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of discontinuation of sugar sweetened beverages on hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and plasma fasting and post-prandial blood glucose in a population with type 2 diabetes. Hypothesis Elimination of sugar sweetened beverages from the diet for a 4 week period will lead to a decrease in HbA1c and plasma fasting and 2 hour post prandial blood glucose in a population with a history of type 2 diabetes and high consumption of sugar sweetened beverages. Specific aims to test hypothesis 1. Investigate how elimination of sugar sweetened beverages from the diet affects HbA1c and plasma fasting and two hour post prandial blood glucose. 2. Test the feasibility of carrying out a simple diet intervention in an outpatient population with type 2 diabetes.
