We propose a prospective, randomized, single-blind controlled crossover study to assess the effects of daily egg inclusion versus egg exclusion, on glycemic control, anthropometric measures, and overall diet quality in adults with Type 2 diabetes.
Hypothesis Inclusion of eggs in the diets of individuals with Type 2 diabetes mellitus will improve glycemic control, anthropometric measures and overall diet quality.
Restriction of dietary cholesterol, and thus the avoidance or restriction of egg intake, is routinely recommended to patients at increased risk for CVD, including those with diabetes. However, the relative importance of dietary cholesterol to serum lipids and the role of egg ingestion in cardiovascular risk are increasingly suspect. Further, the exclusion of eggs from the diet may lead to increased consumption of high-glycemic carbohydrate foods of particular potential harm to individuals with diabetes. The examination of how food-specific recommendations translate into effects on other food choices and overall diet quality, and in turn health effects, is a neglected area of research.
Eggs provide a complete profile of amino acids and an array of micronutrients, and are low in total fat. Although epidemiological and clinical studies largely suggest a lack of association between egg intake and harmful effects, the evidence is somewhat more ambiguous with regard to glycemic control for diabetes, or the risk for CVD among individuals with diabetes. Our own prior work shows no adverse effects of egg ingestion in healthy adults, hyperlipidemic adults, or adults with established coronary artery disease. As a satiating and protein-rich food, eggs have potential to foster calorie and weight control, and to reduce the dietary glycemic load, offering potential advantages in Type 2 diabetes.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Egg inclusion | Experimental | Participants will meet with a registered dietitian and receive instructions for including 2 eggs per day (10 to 14 eggs/week) in their meal plan, while preserving an isocaloric condition relative to the egg exclusion phase. The study dietitian will provide individualized guidance to participants on how to make room for eggs in their diet, while giving them latitude in determining how to adjust for the extra calories from the eggs, to better approximate real-world conditions. |
|
| Egg exclusion | Experimental | Participants will meet with the dietitian and receive relevant meal planning guidance and instructions to avoid eggs and specific egg-containing products. During both intervention phases, study participants will be advised to eat to their usual state of fullness, and dietary monitoring and weighing will be conducted to ensure that an isocaloric condition is maintained. |

| Egg inclusion | Dietary Supplement | Participants will meet with a registered dietitian and receive instructions for including 2 eggs per day (10 to 14 eggs/week)in their meal plan, while preserving an isocaloric condition relative to the egg exclusion phase. The study dietitian will provide individualized guidance to participants on how to make room for eggs in their diet, while giving them latitude in determining how to adjust for the extra calories from the eggs, to better approximate real-world conditions. Treatment phase will last for 12 weeks. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Glycemic Index | Glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) will be used to measure the average plasma glucose concentration. | 12-weeks |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Fasting glucose and insulin | Glucose and insulin will be measured at each time point. Participants will be asked to fast at least 8 hours before glucose and insulin measurement. Homeostasis Model Assessment (HOMA-IR) values will be calculated from fasting serum glucose and serum insulin levels using HOMA calculator version 2.2.1 to gauge the degree of insulin resistance. | 12-weeks |

During both intervention phases, study participants will be advised to eat to their usual state of fullness, and dietary monitoring and weighing will be conducted to ensure that an isocaloric condition is maintained.

| Body Composition | Body composition will be measured using bioelectrical impedance analysis, which uses the resistance of electrical flow through the body to estimate body fat. The Tanita SC-240 Body Composition Analyzer will be used to measure body composition. The SC-240 Body Composition Analyzer measures weight and calculates body fat% and total body water% in addition to BMI. | 12- weeks |
| Body Weight | Body weight will be measured during each visit. It will be measured to the nearest 0.5 pound using a balance-type medical scale. Subjects will be measured in the morning (fasting), unclothed with the exception of undergarments. | 12- weeks |
| Waist Circumference | Waist circumference will be measured using the U.S. government standard protocol. It will be measured around the narrowest point between ribs and hips when viewed from the front after exhaling. | 12-weeks |
| Diet Quality | To help the study team track any variation in dietary pattern over the course of the study, all participants will be asked at two time points to provide information on the foods and beverages that they consumed during a 3-day period. For each 3-day period, participants will complete three 24-hour recalls using a web-based Automated Self-Administered 24-Hour Recall (ASA24) (available from the National Cancer Institute at http://riskfactor.cancer.gov/tools/instruments/asa24/) which will guide them through the process of completing the recall data. Diet quality will be assessed using the Alternative Healthy Eating Index (AHEI). 3-day food period data will be collected at baseline, 6 weeks and 12 weeks. | Baseline, 6-weeks, 12-weeks |
| Physical Activity | Physical activity will be determined by the Seven-Day Physical Activity Recall [PAR]. The PAR is one of the most widely used physical activity assessments in exercise science and epidemiological research. The popularity of this measure stems largely from its versatility and relative ease of use for research applications. The PAR provides detail regarding the duration, intensity, and volume (energy expenditure) of physical activity and can therefore be used for a variety of applications. Because it utilizes a one-week time frame, the data from the PAR is often considered representative of typical activity patterns. While it requires considerable cognitive effort by the participants, the interviewer administered version can be completed in a reasonable amount of time (~20 minutes). Variation in physical activity level will be controlled in our multivariable regression models. | 12-weeks |
