Abstract

Obesity and type 2 diabetes are inextricably linked. It is therefore unfortunate that insulin, the ultimate treatment to improve glycaemic control in type 2 diabetes, is associated with significant weight gain. The aim of the present investigation was to ascertain whether a dietitian-led intensive lifestyle intervention could attenuate weight gain associated with commencing insulin therapy. Subjects (n 50) with type 2 diabetes, within 4 weeks of starting insulin therapy, were randomly allocated to a control or intervention group. The control group continued with standard care whilst the intervention group followed a dietitian-led intensive lifestyle intervention. Over 6 months the control group gained 4.9 (sd 3.6) kg (P < 0.001), whilst the intervention group maintained their weight ( - 0.6 (sd 5.1) kg (NS). The difference in weight change between the groups was 5.5 kg (P < 0.001). The control group had significant increases whilst the intervention group had slight decreases in: BMI (+1.7 (sd 1.3) kg/m2 (P < 0.001) v. - 0.3 (sd 2.0) kg/m2 (NS)), waist circumference (+5.3 (sd 5.0) cm (P < 0.001) v. - 0.4 (sd 5.2) cm (NS)) and percentage body fat (+1.5 (sd 2.0) % (P < 0.001) v. - 0.4 (sd 2.8) % (NS)). Differences between the grou...Continue Reading

Biomarkers for Type 2 Diabetes

Biomarkers can help understand chronic diseases and assist in risk prediction for prevention and early detection of diseases. Here is the latest research on biomarkers in type 2 diabetes, a disease in which the body is unable to produce or properly use insulin.
