About this study

Official title: The Effect of mHealth-Based Lifestyle Intervention on Overweight or Obese Patients With Type 2 Diabetes: A Randomized Controlled Trial

This RCT study will evaluate the effect of a lifestyle intervention on overweight or obese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The primary hypothesis is that the mHealth-based intensive lifestyle intervention is sufficient to achieve weight loss and maintain glycated hemoglobin control.

Read the detailed description

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic systemic metabolic disease caused by the long-term interaction of genetic factors and environmental factors. It is characterized by an increase in plasma glucose levels and is mainly due to metabolic disorders in glucose, fat, and protein caused by insufficient insulin secretion and/or dysfunction in the body, which affects normal physiological activities. As of 2019, 463 million people are suffering from diabetes in the world, of which 90% to 95% have type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), with an average of 1 patient in every 11 adults (aged 20-79). The number of patients with T2DM will jump to 700 million by 2045. There is a close relationship between T2DM and overweight and obesity. The prevalence of diabetes in overweight and obese people in China was 12.8% and 18.5%, respectively. Among T2DM patients, the proportions of overweight and obesity were 41% and 24.3%, respectively.The two kinds of diseases share a common key pathophysiological mechanism, which will have a devastating long-term impact on patients' health and bring serious disease and economic burden to the family. Given the various harms, it is urgent to carry out relevant intervention research and formulate effective intervention strategies. With the development of artificial intelligence technology, the combination of mHealth and multidisciplinary lifestyle intervention may become an efficient and easy-to-popularize management mode for the prevention and treatment of T2DM with obesity.

Given the relative lack of high-quality interventions for T2DM overweight/obesity, the investigators designed a randomized controlled trial to assess the effectiveness of a multicomponent intervention in Ningbo First Hospital. This study plans to adopt the online and offline combination method based on mHealth technology to carry out lifestyle intervention aimed at formulating a set of feasible and effective intervention strategies.

The study aims to identify: 1) whether the mHealth-based intensive lifestyle intervention will be effective for weight and glycated hemoglobin management to reverse or slow down the disease process among T2DM patients with overweight/obesity; 2) whether the intervention will be beneficial for improving biochemical indicators, body composition indicators, and exercise capacity among T2DM patients with overweight/obesity.

What participants receive

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

  • lifestyle interventionBehavioural

    During the 3-month lifestyle intervention period, the participants need to complete the weight monitoring, behavioral goal recording, diet and exercise recording, online course learning by using the WeChat official account module of "Weight Loss and Glucose Control".They will receive corresponding feedback and integral rewards every week, and receive monthly follow-ups to complete health education, goal review, motivational interview as well as collecting medication changes and blood glucose monitoring data.

Study groups in NCT05561855
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
lifestyle interventionExperimental1. Weight monitoring: Participants are required to record the weighting data in the WeChat official account at least once a week to lose 5% or more of their initial body weight in 3 months. 2. Goals record: At baseline, the participants need to complete a behavioral goals questionnaire. All these behaviors are then ranked for each participant based on an algorithm that determines the participants'self-reported necessity, self-efficacy, and estimated caloric deficit from performing that behavior. The top six goals are assigned to each participant with two for every 4-week cycle. 3. Exercise: The form is the combination of aerobic exercise (3d/w) and resistance exercise(2d/w). Each participant will be equipped with a Huami watch as a means of monitoring. 4. Health education: Participants are provided with T2DM-related knowledge. They can also contact the endocrinologist online and offline.
Receives: Behavioral: lifestyle intervention
usual-care controlNo interventionParticipants assigned to the control group will receive routine medical care and diabetes education, and be treated with hypoglycemic drugs under the guidance of endocrinologists according to the patient's condition and clinical treatment standards throughout their participation in the trial. After finishing the study, they will be offered healthy management as the participants in the multi-component lifestyle intervention group.

What is being measured

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

  1. Weight change from baseline

    measured in kilograms (kg) and calculate the change percentage(%)

    Measured: at end of the 3-month intervention

  2. The change of HbA1c from baseline

    measured in percent (%)

    Measured: at end of the 3-month intervention

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. The change in body mass index (BMI) from baseline

    Weight and height will be combined to report BMI in kg/m^2.

    Measured: at end of the 3-month intervention

  2. The change of waist circumference from baseline

    measured in centimetre (cm)

    Measured: at end of the 3-month intervention

  3. The change of waist-to-hip circumference ratio from baseline

    measure waist circumference and hip circumference to calculate waist-to-hip circumference ratio

    Measured: at end of the 3-month intervention

  4. The change of both systolic and diastolic blood pressures from baseline

    measure systolic and diastolic blood pressure in millimeters of mercury (mmHg) by using electronic sphygmomanometer

    Measured: at end of the 3-month intervention

  5. The change of body fat percentage from baseline

    measure body fat percentage (%) by bioelectrical impedance analysis

    Measured: at end of the 3-month intervention

  6. The change of blood lipids from baseline

    measure total cholesterol, triglyceride, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in milligram/deciliter (mg/dL)

    Measured: at end of the 3-month intervention

  7. The change in muscle strength from baseline

    measure grip strength in kilograms (kg) by hand dynamometer

    Measured: at end of the 3-month intervention

  8. The change in exercise capacity from baseline

    The 3-Minute Step Test is an assessment for Cardiorespiratory Fitness. At the end of the 3 minutes, sit down and monitor the pulse for one full minute. Calculate step-test index with the recovery heart rate. The fitter you are, the quicker the heart rate will return to normal after exercise.

    Measured: at end of the 3-month intervention

  9. The change in life quality from baseline

    It is measured in the form of the Short form health survey (SF-36), scored from 0 to 100, with higher scores associated with better quality of life.

    Measured: at end of the 3-month intervention

  10. The change in sleep quality from baseline

    It is measured in the form of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), scored from 0 to 21, with higher scores associated with worse quality of sleep.

    Measured: at end of the 3-month intervention

  11. The change in depression severity from baseline

    It is measured in the form of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), scored from 0 to 27, with higher scores associated with greater degree of depression.

    Measured: at end of the 3-month intervention
