Effects of an intensive lifestyle intervention and the role of sleep in people living with HIV and prediabetes: a pilot and feasibility study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Prediabetes is prevalent in people living with HIV (PLWH). Insufficient and irregular sleep are linked to abnormal glucose metabolism. This study aimed to investigate the differences in sleep characteristics between PLWH with and without prediabetes, determine the acceptability/feasibility and effects of a pilot six-month intensive lifestyle intervention (ILI) program on glucose metabolism in those with prediabetes, and determine how sleep modulates these effects.

Results

Thirty-nine PLWH (20 normoglycemia and 19 prediabetes) participated. There were no differences in sleep characteristics between individuals with normoglycemia and prediabetes. Next, thirteen individuals with prediabetes completed a six-month ILI program. The ILI program resulted in significant body weight reduction at 6 months (63.5 ± 13.9 to 61.9 ± 14.0 kg, p = 0.012), which was maintained at 12 months (p < 0.001). Waist circumferences were significantly decreased at 12 months (85.4 ± 11.7 to 82.9 ± 12.7 cm, p = 0.014). An increase in sleep variability was significantly associated with an increase in 2-h plasma glucose, independent of changes in BMI (b = 0.603), and physical activity (b = 0.774). This pilot study suggested that ILI in PLWH with prediabetes is feasible and effective in improving metabolic control, with its effects possibly modulated by sleep variability. These findings should be confirmed in a larger study to reduce diabetes risk in this population. Trail registration: ClinicalTrial.gov, NCT03545217 (date of registration: May 22, 2018).

Project description:BACKGROUND:As people living with HIV infection require lifelong treatment, nonadherence to medication will reduce their chance of maintaining viral suppression and increase the risk of developing drug resistance and HIV transmission. OBJECTIVE:This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of a mobile app, Mobile Interactive Supervised Therapy (MIST), for improving adherence to oral HIV medications among HIV-infected adults in Singapore. METHODS:We conducted a two-group pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) with a process evaluation, in which 40 HIV-infected participants with once-daily medication regimes were recruited from a public tertiary hospital in Singapore and randomly assigned equally to either the intervention (receiving MIST and routine care) or control (receiving routine care only) groups. The intervention lasted for 2 months. The outcome of antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence was measured by a 7-day recall self-report (SR), pill count (PC), an electronic medical device-Medication Event Monitoring System (MEMS)-and a mobile app-MIST (for the intervention group only). In total, 20 participants from the intervention group were interviewed at the end of the intervention to assess the acceptability of MIST. Data were collected at baseline and at 1-month and 2-month postintervention. RESULTS:All participants had excellent medication adherence at baseline (median 100, IQR 100-100). The use of MIST did not result in a significant improvement in ART adherence when measured by the SR, PC, and MEMS, as compared with the control group at 1-month (P values >.99, .86, and .74, respectively) and 2-month (P values=.80, .84, and .82, respectively) postintervention. ART adherence also did not improve in each group over the same period. MIST was perceived to be a beneficial tool based on the process evaluation results. CONCLUSIONS:Although MIST did not enhance medication adherence to HIV treatments, mainly owing to the ceiling effect, it was perceived to be beneficial among the participants of this study. Our process evaluation provided useful data to further develop MIST for bigger and long-term mobile phone app-assisted intervention RCTs in the future.
