Autonomous exercise game use improves metabolic control and quality of life in type 2 diabetes patients - a randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT: Lifestyle intervention in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is effective but needs a special local setting and is costly. Therefore, in a randomized-controlled trial we tested the hypothesis that the autonomous use of the interactive exercise game Wii Fit Plus over a period of 12 weeks improves metabolic control, with HbA1c reduction as the primary outcome, and weight loss, reduction of cardiometabolic risk factors, physical activity and quality of life (secondary outcomes) in T2DM patients.Participants (n?=?220) were randomized into an intervention and a control group. The intervention group was provided with a Wii console, a balance board and the exercise game Wii Fit Plus for 12 weeks. The control group remained under routine care and received the items 12 weeks later. At baseline and after 12 weeks (and for the control group additionally after 12 weeks of intervention) the participants' health parameters, medication, physical activity and validated questionnaires for quality of life (PAID, SF12, WHO-5, CES-D) were requested and compared in a complete case analysis using the Mann-Whitney test and the Wilcoxon signed rank test.80% of participants completed the 12-week study. Patients in the intervention group significantly improved HbA1c (from 7.1?±?1.3% to 6.8?±?0.9%; -0.3?±?1.1%; p?=?0.0002) in comparison to the control group (from 6.8?±?0.9% to 6.7?±?0.7%; -0.1?±?0.5%) and also significantly reduced fasting blood glucose (from 135.8?±?38.9 mg/dl to 126.6?±?36.6 mg/dl; p?=?0.04), weight (from 97.6?±?19.2 kg to 96.3?±?18.7 kg; p?

Project description:BackgroundOur hypothesis was that a modified diet would improve blood glucose control with beneficial impact on weight management and overall health in established diabetes.ObjectiveThis prospective interventional study investigated the clinical effect of an Okinawan-based Nordic diet on anthropometry, metabolic control, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in Scandinavian type 2 diabetes patients.DesignFood was prepared and delivered to 30 type 2 diabetes patients. Clinical information along with data on HRQoL, blood samples, and urine samples were collected during 12 weeks of diet interventions, with follow-up 16 weeks after diet completion.ResultsAfter 12 weeks of dietary intervention, a reduction in body weight (7%) (p<0.001), body mass index (p<0.001), and waist circumference (7.0 cm) (p<0.001) was seen. Improved levels of proinsulin (p=0.005), insulin (p=0.011), and fasting plasma glucose (p<0.001) were found already after 2 weeks; these improved levels remained after 12 weeks when lowered levels of C-peptide (p=0.015), triglycerides (p=0.009), total cholesterol (p=0.001), and low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (p=0.041) were also observed. Insulin resistance homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance was lowered throughout the study, with a 20% reduction in hemoglobin A1c levels (p<0.001) at week 12, despite reduced anti-diabetes treatment. Lowered systolic blood pressure (9.6 mmHg) (p<0.001), diastolic blood pressure (2.7 mmHg) (p<0.001), and heart and respiratory rates (p<0.001) were accompanied by decreased cortisol levels (p=0.015) and improvement in HRQoL. At follow-up, increased levels of high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol were found (p=0.003).ConclusionThis interventional study demonstrates a considerable improvement of anthropometric and metabolic parameters and HRQoL in Scandinavian type 2 diabetes patients when introducing a modified Okinawan-based Nordic diet, independently of exercise or other interventions. Through these dietary changes, anti-diabetes treatment could be decreased or cancelled.

Project description:ObjectiveThe best approach to patients with adrenal incidentaloma (AI) and possible autonomous cortisol secretion (PACS) is debated. The aim of this study was to assess the metabolic effect of adrenalectomy in AI patients with PACS in relation to cortisol secretion parameters, peripheral activation, and glucocorticoid sensitivity.DesignThis is a multicenter randomized study (NCT number: NCT04860180).MethodsSixty-two AI outpatients (40-75 years) with AI >1 cm and cortisol after overnight dexamethasone suppression test (F-1mgDST) between 50 and 138 nmol/L were randomized to adrenalectomy (Arm A) or a conservative approach (Arm B). Fifty-five patients completed the 6-month follow-up, 25 patients in Arm A (17 female patients, aged 62.5 ± 10.4 years) and 30 patients in Arm B (24 female patients, 66.1 ± 9.1 years). Plasma adrenocorticotroph hormone (ACTH), 24-h urinary free cortisol, 24-h urinary free cortisone, F-1mgDST, glucose, lipids, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels, blood pressure (BP), body weight, and treatment variations were assessed. The 24-h urinary free cortisol/cortisone ratio (an 11-beta hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 activity marker), BclI, and the N363S variants of glucocorticoid receptor (GR) polymorphisms were also evaluated.ResultsBP control improved in 68% and 13% of the subjects in Arm A and Arm B, respectively (p = 0.001), and the glycometabolic control improved in 28% and 3.3% of the subjects in Arm A and Arm B patients, respectively (p = 0.02). Arm A subjects more rarely showed the BP and/or glycometabolic control worsening than Arm B patients (12% and 40%, respectively, p = 0.03). The surgical approach was independently associated with BP amelioration (OR 3.0, 95% CI 3.8-108.3, p < 0.001) but not with age, F-1mgDST levels, BMI, and hypertension and diabetes mellitus presence at baseline. The 24-h urinary free cortisol/cortisone ratio and the presence of sensitizing GR polymorphisms were not associated with the surgical outcome. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis showed that the BP control amelioration was associated with F-1mgDST [area under the curve (AUC), 0.82 ± 0.09 p = 0.012]. The F-1mgDST cutoff with the best compromise in predicting the BP amelioration was set at 75 nmol/L (sensitivity 77%, specificity 75%).ConclusionsAI patients with PACS benefit from surgery in terms of BP and glycometabolic control.

Project description:IntroductionThe lack of effective, scalable solutions for lifestyle treatment is a global clinical problem, causing severe morbidity and mortality. Digital tools could enable broad utility, but long-term metabolic outcomes and the influence on quality of life are unclear.MethodsWe developed a new method for lifestyle treatment that promotes self-reflection and iterative behavioural change, provided as a digital tool, and evaluated its effect on glycaemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes with HbA1c below 52 mmol/mol (n = 297). As a secondary analysis, its effect on quality of life (using SF-12) was examined in both participants with and without diabetes (total n = 1914). The tool was evaluated during a 12-week randomization period to assess the existence of effect, with a subsequent open-label follow-up to study long-term outcomes.ResultsParticipants were randomized to wait or access the intervention tool. The mean difference in HbA1c was 2 mmol/mol (95% CI - 4 to 0; P = 0.02) after 12 weeks in participants with type 2 diabetes. The groups were then merged to enable all participants to use the tool. The mean HbA1c reduction from baseline in patients with type 2 diabetes using the tool was 2 mmol/mol compared with matched controls (95% CI - 3 to 0; P = 0.005). In users with HbA1c above 45 mmol/mol, the mean difference between the groups was 4 mmol/mol (95% CI - 7 to - 2). The improvements were sustained during the follow-up of 1 year on average. Users of the tool also had improved quality of life from baseline to 6 months, mainly observed in non-diabetic participants.ConclusionThe tool does not require in-person reinforcement or increased healthcare resources, and the marginal cost is fundamentally lower than pharmacological treatment and most existing lifestyle interventions. The results therefore open a new means for self-managed lifestyle treatment with long-term metabolic efficacy that can benefit large numbers of people.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov NCT04624321 and NCT05006508.

Project description:BackgroundBreast (BCa) and prostate (PCa) cancer are two of the most common but survivable cancers. One important component of survivorship that is impacted by treatment long term is diminished quality of life (QoL). Supervised exercise improves QoL and subsequent outcomes but is not accessible for all survivors. Additionally, many factors influence QoL including physical activity (PA), cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), physical function, and fatigue. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need to increase access to exercise beyond supervised exercise facilities. Home-based exercise may provide a feasible alternative for cancer survivors especially for those living in rural communities.ObjectivesThe primary aim is to investigate the effects of home-based exercise training (Pre-training vs. Post-training) on QoL in BCa/PCa. A secondary aim is to investigate PA, CRF, physical function, and fatigue and potential moderators (age, cancer-type, intervention duration and type). Home-based exercise trials (randomized crossover or quasi-experimental design) with adults (aged 18 years and over) breast or prostate cancer survivors (not currently undergoing chemotherapy or radiation treatment) were eligible for inclusion.Data sourcesElectronic databases were searched (inception-December 2022) for studies which included adult BCa or PCa survivors (not currently on chemotherapy/radiation), at least measured QoL, and undergoing unsupervised, home-based exercise training.Appraisal and synthesis methodsInitially, 819 studies were identified, from which 17 studies (20 effects) involving 692 participants were extracted. Effect sizes were calculated as standardized mean differences (SMD). Data were pooled using a 3-level model with restricted maximum likelihood estimation. Pooled SMD was used to assess the magnitude of effect, where <0.2, 0.2, 0.5, and 0.8 was defined as trivial, small, moderate, and large respectively.ResultsHome-based exercise resulted in small improvements in QoL (SMD = 0.30, 95% CI 0.01, 0.60, p = 0.042), PA (SMD = 0.49, 95% CI 0.26, 0.75, p<0.001) and CRF (SMD = 0.45, 95% CI -0.01, 0.91, p = 0.056). Physical function (SMD = 0.00, 95% CI -0.21, 0.21, p = 1.000) and fatigue (SMD = -0.61, 95%CI -1.53, 0.32, p = 0.198) did not change.ConclusionsHome-based exercise results in small improves QoL in BCa/PCa survivors, independent of cancer type, intervention duration and type, or age. Home-based exercise also improves PA and CRF enhancing survivorship. Therefore, home-based exercise is an efficacious alternative option to improve QoL for BCa and PCa survivors especially for those who live in rural communities or lack access to exercise facilities.
