Completed
Conditions
PreDiabetes
Interventions
Behavioral: Group Lifestyle Balance Plus (GLB+)
Behavioral: Group Lifestyle Balance (GLB)
Registration Number
NCT03382873
Lead Sponsor
Ohio State University
Brief Summary

The purpose of the study was to evaluate the impact of augmented care at the worksite through a lifestyle intervention for diabetes prevention among employees with prediabetes who were slower to respond to a standard diabetes prevention intervention.

Detailed Description

Employees at the Ohio State University (OSU) with prediabetes participated in a standard lifestyle intervention (Group Lifestyle Balance) for diabetes prevention. Participants who did not achieve \>2.5% weight loss at week 5 of the intervention were stratified to the augmented intervention (Group Lifestyle Balance Plus) at week 5. The impact of the augmented intervention compared to the standard intervention was determined at 4, 12 and 18 months from baseline to determine if implementing early enhanced training helped participants achieve and maintain weight loss similar to those who received the standard intervention.
