Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in serum fasting insulin levels (pmol/L)3 months, 6 months and 12 months
Incidence of regression to normoglycaemia among the studied population12 months
Changes in HbA1c level (%)3 months, 6 months and 12 months
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Changes in depressive symptoms3 months, 6 months and 12 months

Depressive symptoms will be assessed by Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) algorithm scoring method. The range of PHQ-9 is from 0 to 27 and higher scores mean worse outcome.

Changes in waist circumference (cm)3 months, 6 months and 12 months
Change in body mass index (kg/m2)3 months, 6 months and 12 months
Changes in systolic pressure (mmHg)3 months, 6 months and 12 months
Changes in diastolic pressure (mmHg)3 months, 6 months and 12 months
Changes in serum triglyceride levels (mmol/L)3 months, 6 months and 12 months
Changes in serum high density lipoprotein cholesterol levels (mmol/L)3 months, 6 months and 12 months
Changes in serum aspartate aminotransferase levels (mmol/L)3 months, 6 months and 12 months
Changes in serum gamma glutamyltranspeptidase levels (mmol/L)3 months, 6 months and 12 months
Changes in body weight (Kilograms)3 months, 6 months and 12 months
Change in β cell function3 months, 6 months and 12 months

β cell function will be assessed by HOMA-β

Changes in serum alanine aminotransferase levels levels (mmol/L)3 months, 6 months and 12 months
Changes in Epworth sleepiness scores(ESS)3 months, 6 months and 12 months

The range of epworth sleepiness scores(ESS) is from 0 to 24 and higher scores mean worse outcome.

Changes in fasting blood glucose (mmol/L)3 months, 6 months and 12 months
Change in insulin sensitivity3 months, 6 months and 12 months

Insulin sensitivity will be assessed by HOMA-IR

Changes in serum total cholesterol levels (mmol/L)3 months, 6 months and 12 months
Changes in serum low density lipoprotein cholesterol levels (mmol/L)3 months, 6 months and 12 months
Changes in controlled attenuation parameter(dB/m)3 months, 6 months and 12 months

Controlled attenuation parameter will be assessed by transient elastography (FibroScan(®) )

Changes in Changes in liver fibrosis3 months, 6 months and 12 months

Liver fibrosis will be assessed by transient elastography (FibroScan(®) )
