P4 Approach in Diabetes Type 2

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Type 2 Diabetes
Registration Number
NCT02196350
Lead Sponsor
W.J. Pasman
Brief Summary

The study aims to assess the impact of the P4 approach on established markers of glucose metabolism in type 2 diabetics.

Secondary objectives are examination of the changes in physical characteristics, quality of life and the indices for beta cell function, hepatic insulin resistance and muscle insulin resistance .

Detailed Description

This study will be a proof-of-principle exploratory study. Subjects in the P4 program will receive a personalized diagnosis and treatment. After investigation of the status of the different organs involved in diabetes (liver, muscle, pancreas), subjects in the P4 group are divided into 3 subgroups. Each subgroup receives a personalized lifestyle advice. This lifestyle advice may comprise different interventions, i.e. very low calorie diet, low calorie diet, strength training, endurance training. Dependent on the type of intervention, these interventions will be supervised by a dietitian or physiotherapist.

All subjects will visit a central study center 5 times during the study and 3 times during follow-up. During these visits physical measures will be taken and data will be collected by the general practitioner assistant.

After the three month intervention period the subjects will return to usual care via the general practitioner.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in fasting blood glucose levelsIn-study at week 0 (baseline) and 13 (end of study); follow-up after 6, 12 and 24 months

After 8 hour fasting. Changes in primary outcome measures will be determined by using a mixed model.

percentage of participants that reach normoglycemiaend of study (after 13 weeks)

normoglycemia is determined by fasting blood glucose level of less than 6.1 mmol/L

Change in HbA1c levelsIn-study at week 0 (baseline) and 13 (end of study); follow-up after 6, 12 and 24 months

Changes in primary outcome measures will be determined by using a mixed model

Change in 2h glucose levelsIn-study at week 0 (baseline) and 13;

2h glucose will be measured after Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT). Changes in primary outcome measures will be determined by using a mixed model
