Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of two levels of primary care physical activity interventions on metabolic control and cardiovascular risk factors, compared to usual care in patients with pre- and type 2 diabetes.

The hypothesis is that both levels of interventions have effect on HbA1c with the more intense Group intervention having superior effects.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Regularly physical activity may decrease the risk for type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, overweight and premature deaths. Despite the evidence that physical activity is beneficial to health,it is often ignored and underused aspect in diabetes care. The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of two levels of primary care physical activity interventions on metabolic control and cardiovascular risk factors, compared to usual care in patients with pre- and type 2 diabetes.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Group A

Participants in the intensive intervention group (A) receive a pedometer intervention and 12 group meetings over two years' time, with the majority of meetings being held in the first 6 months. The group meetings constitutes of a 30 min walk and 60 min group consulting based on techniques for behaviour change using an interactive program with positive feed-back following their steps on a website. One occasion is taking place at a gym with instruction for a home-based strength training program. Participants receive 10 individual consultations with a diabetes specialist nurse.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Pedometer intervention

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Intensive intervention with pedometer. The participants are instructed to set daily step goal and to record their daily steps on a website.

Group meetings

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Participants receive 12 group meetings over two years' time.

Individual consultations

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Participants receive 10 individual meetings with a diabetes specialist nurse. Physical activity on prescription is used to set individual goals and to highlight the importance of physical activity.

Group B

Participants in the pedometer group (B) receive a pedometer intervention. Henceforth they are left to continue by they own for two years.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Pedometer intervention

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Intensive intervention with pedometer. The participants are instructed to set daily step goal and to record their daily steps on a website.

Group C

The control group (C) receive diabetes care as usual except for the extra measurements included in the study. Diabetes care as usual is meeting a diabetes specialist nurse and a general practitioner once a year receiving lifestyle advice and physical activity on prescription.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION
