Conditions
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Interventions
Behavioral: Exercise, dietary and educational program
Registration Number
NCT01654341
Lead Sponsor
Hospital Universitario Getafe
Brief Summary

The MID-Frail STUDY project focuses on the use of interventions designed to improve functional status and enhance quality of life (rather than traditional treatments such as glucose- and blood pressure- lowering) by acting on the mechanisms involved in producing frailty and its progression to adverse outcomes.

Detailed Description

Detailed Description: Subjects enrolled in the main study will also be invited to join the following sub-studies:

GENEFRAIL: this sub-study aims to determine the polymorphisms of several genes associated to frailty, in order to establish its predictive value for developing disability and response to treatment as well METABOFRAIL: this sub-study aims to investigate the metabolomic profile of frail and pre-frail patients. SARTRAIN: the combination of the assessment tools used in SARTRAIN (ARFI US, MRI, posturographic measurements) will provide a comprehensive study of the structural and functional characteristics of muscle and adjacent tissues and their change with time and the intervention. MID- POW: this sub-study aims to investigate changes in muscle power.

The project also include an randomized controlled ancillary study: SENSOLE for which the aim is to investigate the potential effects of vibrating insoles device on gait and posture.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Changes in summary ordinal score on the Short Physical Performance Battery test2 years

The Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) is a simple test to measure lower extremity function using tasks that mimic daily activities. The SPPB examines 3 areas of lower extremity function; static balance, gait speed, and getting in and out of a chair. These areas represent essential tasks important for independent living and are thus an important outcome measure for patients with cardiovascular and pulmonary disease.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Symptomatic hypoglycaemia2 years

Episodes of symptomatic hypoglycaemia (i.e., a recorded blood sugar less than 4 mmol/L, or symptoms or signs attributed to low blood sugar and responding to appropriate treatment)

Lawton Instrumental Activity of Daily Living (IADL) scale2 years
Caregiver Strain Index2 years

Burden of the carer, as assessed by the modified Caregiver Strain Index

Barthel index of activities of daily living2 years
Euro-Quality of Life (QoL) index2 years
Economic costs/healthcare expenditure due to diabetes and its impact on disability and quality of life,2 years

Economic costs/healthcare expenditure due to diabetes and its impact on disability and quality of life, using an economic model embracing the direct health-related costs (in-patient, out-patient, pharmaceutical, etc), formal care costs (home care, respite care, day centers, etc) and the informal care costs (carer).

Hospital admissions2 years

Episodes of hospital admission (i.e., any admission involving an overnight stay)

Mortality2 years
Episodes of permanent institutionalization2 years

Episodes of permanent institutionalization (i.e., permanent move to any care setting other than the patient's own home, where paid staff are available to provide care if needed at any time during the day or night).
