About this study

Nutrition therapy is recognized as one of the crucial components for the standard treatment of diabetes along with physical activity and drug therapy. Of note, dietary habits are culture specific and hence understanding the dietary intake, eating behavior and physical activity level of the local population is important to formulate effective nutrition and lifestyle strategies. Weight control is a major therapeutic challenge because many conventionally used anti-diabetic agents, such as sulphonylurea and insulin, can cause weight gain, thus setting up a vicious cycle with increasing insulin resistance due to increasing levels of free fatty acids from adipose tissues . Although intensive face-to-face lifestyle intervention program has showed that even modest weight loss in people with Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) who were overweight or obese was associated with improvements in glycemic control and associated conditions, it may not be feasible in public hospital setting in Hong Kong due to factors such as limited resources, scheduling, patient's employment and willingness for frequent travel to the clinic. Hence, alternative strategies such as a combination of face- to-face individual dietary and lifestyle consultation together with telephone intensive lifestyle reinforcement program will likely to be an useful strategy to engage those obese T2DM patients through frequent individual contacts. On the other hand, bariatric surgery has emerged as an impressive therapeutic option for poorly control obese T2DM patients.

Realizing there is a knowledge gap in understanding the lifestyle factors in the Hong Kong Chinese obese T2DM patients, we therefore propose to conduct a 1-year prospective clinical trial with two main objectives:

  1. To study and compare the glycemic and weight improvement after bariatric surgery versus a telephone intensive lifestyle intervention program for 1 year in Hong Kong Chinese obese patients with type 2 diabetes.
  2. To investigate the effect of lifestyle factors including dietary intake, eating behaviors and physical activity level on the glycemic and weight control of Hong Kong Chinese obese patients with type 2 diabetes.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Bariatric surgery and Telephone Intensive Lifestyle Counselling in people with Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 in Obese, run by Chinese University of Hong Kong.

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 7 inclusion and 7 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 24 Jul 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Change of HbA1c (time frame: 1 year). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 24 Jul 2018.
