About this study

Official title: Intensive Lifestyle Intervention for Type 2 Diabetics: The Kaiser Permanente TLC Pilot

The purpose of this study is to determine if a healthy lifestyle intervention can significantly improve blood sugar control in type 2 diabetics over a course of 3 months.

Read the detailed description

Peer reviewed research studies have proven the benefits of lifestyle interventions including the reversal of coronary artery disease and of diabetes. Experts agree that such a lifestyle must include a diet rich in whole, grown foods while low in saturated fat and cholesterol; regular physical activity; and healthy ways to cope with stress.

There are several challenges with implementing such lifestyle interventions such as educating the general public and health care providers to the components of this lifestyle and in getting people to adopt these healthy lifestyle changes.

While retreat-style, intensive lifestyle programs have shown that these obstacles can be overcome, they require monetary and time investments generally not feasible for the general public.

A community-based, lifestyle program such as 'The Coronary Health Improvement Project' program offers similar potential benefits at a more reasonable cost. It does so through an intensive education (32 hours total) taught over 4 weeks, followed by an 8-week consolidation period which include live or DVD based group sessions, discussions led by a program facilitator, and medical monitoring.

Kaiser Permanente, the leading Health maintenance organization in the nation, places special focus and significant resources into preventive medicine and health promotion, providing services to thousands of plan members but none with the level of intensity of 'The Coronary Health Improvement Project'.

This study aims to determine if 'The Coronary Health Improvement Project' program can significantly improve blood sugar control in kaiser plan members with uncontrolled diabetes.

What participants receive

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

  • Coronary Health Improvement Project ProgramBehavioural

    The Coronary Health Improvement Project' (CHIP; an intensive, community-based, lifestyle change program including a low saturated fat diet rich in whole, grown foods) has been shown to improve the health of diabetics through an intensive education taught over a 12 week period, but has not been studied in terms of its effect on HBAIC. Kaiser Permanente places significant resources into preventive medicine but does not have programs with the level of intensity of CHIP. This study aims to determine if Kaiser members with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes can achieve a significant improvement in their HBAIC after 12 weeks of participation in the CHIP program.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. HBAIC before and after intervention

    Baseline HbA1C will be measured within two weeks of the start of the intervention. Follow-up HbA1C will be measured at 12 weeks after the start of the intervention, as HbA1C is a measure of glycemic control over approximately 12 weeks.

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Average weekly blood sugar

    Baseline blood glucose readings will be checked one week prior to the start of the intervention, as well as weekly during the study for medication adjustment by a specialized Kaiser Permanente physician (weekly monitoring of blood glucose levels based on checks performed 3 times/day, for at least 3 consecutive days during the week, and then averaged). Follow-up blood glucose levels will be self-measured by patient glucometer, 3 times/ day, for at least 3 consecutive days. The average of these readings will be computed, as the "average weekly blood sugar"

    Measured: 3 months

  2. Lipids

    Baseline fasting lipid panel will be ascertained within two weeks prior to the start of the intervention. Follow-up fasting lipids will be measured at 4 weeks and at 12 weeks after the start of the intervention.

    Measured: 3 months

  3. Weight

    Baseline height, weight, waist circumference, hip circumference, and systolic and diastolic blood pressure will be measured within one week of the start of the intervention. Follow-up measures will be ascertained at 4, 8, and 12 weeks after the start of the intervention.

    Measured: 3 months

  4. waist circumference

    Baseline height, weight, waist circumference, hip circumference, and systolic and diastolic blood pressure will be measured within one week of the start of the intervention. Follow-up measures will be ascertained at 4, 8, and 12 weeks after the start of the intervention.

    Measured: 3 months

  5. Blood pressure

    Baseline height, weight, waist circumference, hip circumference, and systolic and diastolic blood pressure will be measured within one week of the start of the intervention. Follow-up measures will be ascertained at 4, 8, and 12 weeks after the start of the intervention.

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Coronary Health Improvement Project Program in people with Type 2 Diabetes, run by Kaiser Permanente 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 3 inclusion and 5 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Mar 2015. 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

HBAIC before and after intervention (time frame: 3 months). 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 11 Mar 2015.
