Study summary

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of a family and interdisciplinary approach on individual and family insulin resistance and insulin secretion in patients with prediabetes.

Read the detailed description

This a randomized clinical trial designed to evaluate the efficacy of the following treatments:

  1. Family and interdisciplinary approach that includes nutritional, physical activity and psychological counseling + metformin 850mg twice at day for 12 months
  2. Individual approach that includes nutritional and physical activity counseling + metformin 850mg twice at day for 12 months

To improve individual and family insulin resistance and insulin secretion in patients with prediabetes.

Patients will have a follow-up visit every month in the Metabolic Research Laboratory at the University of Guanajuato, Mexico, and will have a fasting measurement of lipids, glucose and insulin every 3 months, as well as 2h oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) at basal, 6 and 12 months.

Interventions

  • OtherFamily and interdisciplinary approach

    Family and interdisciplinary approach that includes: 1. nutritional counseling, 2. physical activity counseling, 3. psychological counseling, 4. metformin 850mg twice at day for 12 months All this with the purpose to improve insulin resistance and insulin secretion in patients with prediabetes. Patients must attend a monthly session together with his family where they will receive the nutritional, physical activity and psychological counseling.

  • Otherindividual approach

    individual approach that includes: 1. nutritional and physical activity counseling in individual appointments, 2. metformin 850mg twice at day for 12 months, All this with the purpose to improve insulin resistance and insulin secretion. The patients must attend a monthly follow-up individually.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Individual Insulin Resistance and Insulin Secretion

    Whole body insulin sensitivity as determined by the Matsuda Index was calculated using the following formula: 10,000 divided by the square root of (FPI\* FPG) \* (xGPC\* xIPC) Where FPI is fasting plasma insulin expressed as uU/ml, FPG is fasting plasma glucose expressed as mg/dL, xGPC is mean plasma glucose concentration after the load and xIPC is the mean insulin concentration after the load. Values calculated on samples taken at 0, 30, 60, 90 and 120 minutes of a 2 hour OGTT. Values typically range from 0 to 12 units with higher scores indicating better insulin sensitivity (better result). A value of 2.5 or less is indicative of low insulin sensitivity (worst result).

    Time frame: 6 months

  2. Individual Insulin Resistance and Insulin Secretion

    Whole body insulin sensitivity as determined by the Matsuda Index was calculated using the following formula: 10,000 divided by the square root of (FPI\* FPG) \* (xGPC\* xIPC) Where FPI is fasting plasma insulin expressed as uU/ml, FPG is fasting plasma glucose expressed as mg/dL, xGPC is mean plasma glucose concentration after the load and xIPC is the mean insulin concentration after the load. Values calculated on samples taken at 0, 30, 60, 90 and 120 minutes of a 2 hour OGTT. Values typically range from 0 to 12 units with higher values indicating better insulin sensitivity (better result, the higher the value the better the result of this variable). A value of 2.5 or less is indicative of low insulin sensitivity (worst result).

    Time frame: 12 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Family Insulin Resistance and Insulin Secretion (Matsuda Index Measured in the Relatives of the Patients)

    Whole body insulin sensitivity as determined by the Matsuda Index as calculated using the following formula: 10,000 divided by the square root of (FPI\* FPG) \* (xGPC\* xIPC) Where FPI is fasting plasma insulin expressed as uU/ml, FPG is fasting plasma glucose expressed as mg/dL, xGPC is mean plasma glucose concentration after the load and xIPC is the mean insulin concentration after the load. Values calculated on samples taken at 0, 30, 60, 90 and 120 minutes of a 2 hour OGTT. Values typically range from 0 to 12 units with higher scores indicating better insulin sensitivity (the higher the value the better the result).
