Who may be able to join

  • Recruitment from Cherokee Health Systems, Healthy Eating and Activity Laboratory Ineligible Database, UTK faculty and staff, and local endocrinologists' offices.
  • Have been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes for a minimum of 1 year.
  • Fasting BG of ≥ 126mg/dl6.
  • Between the age of 21 and 65 years. Older adults may have more medical co-morbidities and may require greater medical supervision29.

About this study

The purpose of this investigation is to conduct a 12-week study to compare the effects of a self-regulation intervention (SR), in which participants will self-monitor their blood glucose (BG) and adjust dietary intake and physical activity through the use of current dietary and physical activity guidelines to help regulate their BG, to an education and self-monitoring only intervention (SM), on blood glucose, self-efficacy, and diabetes self-management activities.

Read the detailed description

As our nation continues to battle overweight and obesity, the prevalence of diabetes will precipitously increase, placing additional financial burden on our country. Therefore, finding ways to manage this chronic disease is essential. While self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) has been shown to be effective in improving glycemic control in individuals with type 1 diabetes, the importance of encouraging individuals with type 2 diabetes to engage in SMBG for better blood glucose (BG) is still unclear. SMBG is believed to be key in the self-management of diabetes, as it can provide feedback on dietary and activity behaviors that are believed to impact on BG. The use of SMBG to adjust other behaviors that impact on BG is a self-regulatory approach to diabetes management. Self-regulation of BG is theorized to impact on self-efficacy in the management of diabetes. Through greater self-efficacy, greater compliance to diabetes self-management behaviors is achieved. Currently, no trial has examined the use of a self-regulation approach using current dietary and physical activity recommendations for individuals with type 2 diabetes who are not on insulin.

Thus, this investigation will involve a 12-week study to examine the effect of an SR intervention to SM intervention. All participants in the investigation will receive a standard 12-week behavioral intervention. The intervention will include a reduced caloric prescription (1200-1500 kcal/day), fat gram prescription (30% or less kcals from fat), carbohydrate gram prescription (150-190 grams/day) and a physical activity goal (slowly building up to 150minutes/week of moderate-intense physical activity at the end of study).

Participants will be assessed at 0 and 13 weeks (pre- and post-intervention) on measures of fasting blood glucose, self-efficacy, and diabetes self-management activities. Additionally, dietary intake, physical activity, quality of life and body weight measurements will be taken at 0 and 13 weeks for comparisons between the two treatment groups.

What participants receive

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

  • DietaryBehavioural

    All participants in the investigation will receive a standard 12-week behavioral intervention with seven 30-45 minute phone interventions and education sessions. The intervention includes a reduced caloric prescription (1200-1500 kcal/day),fat gram prescription (30% or less kcals from fat) and carbohydrate gram prescription (150-190 grams).

  • Physical ActivityBehavioural

    There is a physical Activity of 150 minutes/week of moderate-intense physical activity.

  • Self-Regulatory ApproachesBehavioural

    Participants in this arm will receive extensive feedback based on their self-monitoring diary in which the researcher will be reinforced in areas that they are doing well in regarding their blood glucose and also assist in problem solving in areas that need improvement.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Dietary, Physical Activity and Self-Regulatory Approaches in people with Type 2 Diabetes, run by The University of Tennessee, Knoxville 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?

The sponsor lists 11 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. 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 5 Apr 2018. 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?

Blood Glucose (time frame: 12 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 5 Apr 2018.
