In this study we will test the hypothesis that an increase in protein content of the diet will result in an increase in the 24-hour integrated circulating growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) concentrations and an increase in lean body mass in people with untreated type 2 diabetes.

Arms | Assigned Interventions |
1: Active Comparator
30% carbohydrate, 30% protein, 40% fat
|
Other: LoBag Diet - test phase
A Low Biologically Available Glucoe (LOBAG30), weight maintaining diet consisting of 30% carbohydrate, 30% protein, 40% fat will be provided to subjects for 5 weeks.
|
2: Placebo Comparator
55% carbohydrate, 15% protein, 30% fat
|
Other: LoBAG Diet - control phase
A control, weight maintaining diet consisting of 55% carbohydrate, 15% protein, 30% fat will be provided to subjects for 5 weeks

Subjects with untreated type 2 diabetes will be studied using a randomized crossover design. The study will begin with an initial two-week observation period. Subjects then will be randomly assigned to one arm of the study for 5 weeks. The carbohydrate:protein:fat ratio for the control diet is 55:15:30 whereas for the test diet it is 40:30:30. Following a five-week washout period, subjects will be assigned to the other arm of the study. All meals will be provided by the SDTU. A six-day rotating meal plan has been devised. At the beginning and end of the 5-week diet period, the subject will be admitted to the SDTU (Special Diagnostic and Treatment Unit), be provided with the meals appropriate for the test or control arm of the study, and have blood drawn at various times during a 24-hour period. In addition to measurement of GH and IGF-1, IGF-binding proteins 1 and 3, ghrelin, and body composition will be determined.
