Type 2 diabetes remission 1?year after an intensive lifestyle intervention: A secondary analysis of a randomized clinical trial.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: AIM:To investigate whether an intensive lifestyle intervention induces partial or complete type 2 diabetes (T2D) remission. MATERIALS AND METHODS:In a secondary analysis of a randomized, assessor-blinded, single-centre trial, people with non-insulin-dependent T2D (duration <10?years), were randomly assigned (2:1, stratified by sex, from April 2015 to August 2016) to a lifestyle intervention group (n = 64) or a standard care group (n = 34). The primary outcome was partial or complete T2D remission, defined as non-diabetic glycaemia with no glucose-lowering medication at the outcome assessments at both 12 and 24?months from baseline. All participants received standard care, with standardized, blinded, target-driven medical therapy during the initial 12?months. The lifestyle intervention included 5- to 6-weekly aerobic and combined aerobic and strength training sessions (30-60?minutes) and individual dietary plans aiming for body mass index ?25?kg/m2 . No intervention was provided during the 12-month follow-up period. RESULTS:Of the 98 randomized participants, 93 completed follow-up (mean [SD] age 54.6 [8.9] years; 46 women [43%], mean [SD] baseline glycated haemoglobin 49.3 [9.3] mmol/mol). At follow-up, 23% of participants (n = 14) in the intervention and 7% (n = 2) in the standard care group met the criteria for any T2D remission (odds ratio [OR] 4.4, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.8-21.4]; P = 0.08). Assuming participants lost to follow-up (n = 5) had relapsed, the OR for T2D remission was 4.4 (95% CI 1.0-19.8; P = 0.048). CONCLUSIONS:The statistically nonsignificant threefold increased remission rate of T2D in the lifestyle intervention group calls for further large-scale studies to understand how to implement sustainable lifestyle interventions among people with T2D.
