Abstract Background Kiritimati is a remote Pacific Island estimated to have high rates of overweight/obesity (~ 81%) and type 2 diabetes (T2DM; ~27%), potentially related to high sugar consumption starting early in life. We aimed to determine the feasibility and effectiveness of a short-term dietary sugar-reduction intervention on sugar consumption and glucose control in Kiritimati adolescents. Methods A school-based pilot randomized controlled trial over two weeks. The two high schools on Kiritimati were randomized to the control school and the intervention school. Inclusion criteria was enrollment at one of the two high schools on the island. Exclusion criteria was age > 18 years. 63 students enrolled (n = 26 control; n = 37 intervention). The intervention consisted of installing a water filter at the school, providing reusable water bottles, and a 30-minute group dietary education session. Beverage frequency questionnaires and 24-hour diet recalls were conducted at baseline and follow-up. Continuous blood glucose monitors (CGMs; FreeStyle Libre Pro) measured indices of blood glucose control over 14 days (one-week pre-intervention, one-week post-intervention). A statistically significant effect of the intervention was considered a time x group interaction term of p < 0.05. Results The total sample at baseline was 16.5 ± 1.2 years old of which 45.5% were male and 60.3% had overweight or obesity. Added sugar consumption decreased in the intervention group (131 ± 77 to 47 ± 49 g/day), with no change in the control group (pinteraction=0.001). However, there were no significant effects of the intervention on any of the CGM measures, which were normal at baseline. No adverse events were noted. Conclusions A 7-day sugar-reduction intervention significantly reduced sugar intake but had no effects on CGM measures in Kiritimati adolescents at high risk for obesity and T2DM. This pilot study suggests a simple sugar-reduction intervention could improve diet quality in adolescents on Pacific Islands with high rates of obesity/T2DM.
