Development of an Adaptive Treatment for Weight Loss in People with Prediabetes

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: PreDiabetes; Obesity
• Interventions: Behavioral: Reduced Carbohydrate Diet; Behavioral: High Carbohydrate Diet

• Registration Number: NCT04745572
• Lead Sponsor: University of Alabama at Birmingham

Brief Summary

This 16-week study will use an experimental approach called the Sequential Multiple Assignment Randomized Trial to help determine which combination and sequence of weight loss program features are most effective in people who are at risk for type 2 diabetes. Participants in the study will be initially randomized to consume either a high or reduced carbohydrate diet. After 4 weeks, participants will be identified as Responders (greater than or equal to 2.5% weight loss) or Non-Responders (less than 2.5% weight loss). Responders will continue with their initial randomized group for the remainder of the trial. Non-responders will be re-randomized to 2nd stage interventions of either including additional exercise counseling and training or beginning a time restricted eating protocol for the remainder of the trial.
