Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Inclusion Criteria: Study subjects will include those with: type 2 diabetes mellitus defined according to the 1997 ADA criteria and age of 18 years or greater. We will sample from three different patient populations: (1) 96 individuals who have HbA1c < 8%, and no evidence of chronic renal insufficiency (a serum creatinine <1.3mg/dl for women and <1.5mg/dl for men). (2) 96 individuals with HbA1c > 8%, and no evidence of chronic renal insufficiency, and (3) 96 individuals with evidence of chronic renal insufficiency (a serum creatinine >1.3mg/dl for women and >1.5mg/dl for men, but who have not yet progressed to dialysis), regardless of HbA1c level.

Exclusion Criteria: Exclusion criteria were selected to enhance safety and ability to complete the study protocol. They include: (1) history of hypoglycemic coma/seizure within the last 12 months, (2) hypoglycemia requiring 3rd party assistance within the last 3 months, (3) history consistent with type 1 diabetes, (4) unwillingness to do capillary blood testing using the FreeStyle monitor, (5) unwillingness or inability to participate in scheduled group classes or individual counseling sessions, (7) subjects currently on renal dialysis, (8) any factors likely to preclude adherence to the study protocol including dementia, alcohol or substance abuse, plan to move within the next 8 months, lack of support from the subject's primary health care provider (i.e. PCP is aware of significant risks such as extreme variation in blood glucoses and/or comorbidities that would make participation in the study unsafe), failure to obtain informed consent from the participant, current participation in another clinical trial, and (9) subjects who are not available by telephone during the hours of 8am to 6pm.

About this study

Official title: Enhancing Adherence in Type 2 Diabetics

This randomized study will test a behavioral intervention, based on social cognitive theory (SCT), to improve regimen adherence in three different groups of people with type 2 diabetes; (1) those with well controlled blood glucoses and no concurrent chronic renal insufficiency, (2) those with less well-controlled glucoses and no chronic renal insufficiency, and (3) those with chronic renal insufficiency regardless of glucose control. The primary aims of this study are to: (1)determine whether the intervention improves behavioral adherence to the diabetes self-management regimen including dietary adherence, physical activity, and capillary glucose self-monitoring; (2)determine whether the intervention improves clinical outcomes; (3) explore the extent to which self-efficacy is a mediator of adherence,(4) explore the extent to which the effectiveness of the intervention varies with respect to glycemic control and nephrovascular complications at baseline, and (5)explore the impact of a variety of covariates on the effectiveness of the intervention.

Hypothesis #1 is that intervention group participants will perform better than attention control group participants on various measures of adherence to the diabetes management regimen. Primary adherence variables will be dietary intake, and physical activity. Hypothesis #2 is that intervention group participants will have lower HbA1c levels than attention control group participants.

Read the detailed description

This randomized study, the ENHANCE Study (Enhancing Adherence to Diabetes Self-Management) will test a behavioral intervention, based on social cognitive theory (SCT), to improve regimen adherence in three different groups of people with type 2 diabetes; (1) HbA1c < 8% and no concurrent chronic renal insufficiency, (2) HbA1c>8% and no chronic renal insufficiency, and (3) those with evidence of chronic renal insufficiency regardless of glucose control.

The primary aims of this study are to:

  1. . Determine whether the intervention improves behavioral adherence to the diabetes self-management regimen including: 1.a. dietary adherence, as measured by self-report using dietary recalls and the Nutrient Data System, 1.b. physical activity as measured by the CHAMPS Physical Activity Questionnaire as well as pedometer readings, and 1.c. adherence to capillary glucose self-monitoring as assessed by the FreeStyle monitor.
  2. . Determine whether the intervention improves clinical outcome measures including: 2.a. glycosylated hemoglobin levels (HbA1c), 2.b. weight loss, 2.c. anthropometrics.
  3. . Explore the extent to which self-efficacy is a mediator of adherence.
  4. . Explore the extent to which the effectiveness of the intervention varies with respect to glycemic control and nephrovascular complications at baseline.
  5. . Explore the impact of a variety of covariates (medications, depression, social support, severity of disease, and general health and sociodemographic characteristics, clinic from which they were recruited, health literacy, and trust in research) on the effectiveness of the intervention.

Hypothesis #1 is that intervention group participants will perform better than attention control group participants on various measures of adherence to the diabetes management regimen. Primary behavioral adherence variables will be dietary intake, and physical activity. Hypothesis #2 is that intervention group participants will have lower HbA1c levels than attention control group participants.

The 6-month intervention includes group classes, held weekly during months 1\&2, biweekly during months 3\&4, and monthly during month 5\&6. Classes focus on building a sense of mastery over the diabetes regimen and features the use of PDA-base dietary self-monitoring. Intervention group participants are compared to an attention care group, that receives monthly contacts. Measurements are made at baseline, 3, and 6 months.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Attention controlBehavioural

    Participants attend 3 educational seminars, receive a lay diabetes journal, pedometer, and glucose monitoring supplies.

  • InterventionBehavioural

    Behavioral intervention of diabetes self-management paired with PDA-based monitoring of dietary intake and physical activity. Participants also receive a pedometer and glucose self-monitoring supplies.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Intervention in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 and Diabetic Nephropathy, run by University of Pittsburgh at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 May 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Physical activity CHAMPS (time frame: Baseline, 3 and 6 months). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00222846, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 17 May 2010.
