Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this study is to evaluate Effect of Fasting Therapy on Blood Glucose Control and Islet Function in Newly Diagnosed Type 2 Diabetic Patients.

Detailed Description

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

This study was to investigate the effects of fasting therapy on blood glucose control and islet function in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients.

60 participants will be recruited from outpatients or inpatients in First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University according the eligibility criteria. All the eligible subjects will be randomly allocated into 2 groups, the fasting group and the intense insulin therapy group. The former one will receive fasting therapy for 14 days and the latter be treated with an intense insulin therapy including short-term continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion treatment or four stage intensive insulin treatment for 2 weeks.

First of all, to determine whether fasting therapy is effective for glucose control or not, the investigators will observed the required time and control rate for a targeted glucose level, the average fasting blood glucose and postprandial blood glucose as well as the glucose amelioration degree in all the patients. Then, all the patients will undergo a follow-up period of 1 year, during which the fasting and postprandial blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin of each participant will be monitored to assess the long-term remission rate of diabetes. Patients are invited to review their glucose and lipid metabolic indices at 3 months, 6 months and 12 months of follow-up. Lifestyle guidance will be offered by specialist physicians throughout the follow-up period.

Secondly, all the patients are required to take the insulin and C-peptide releasing tests before and after fasting as well as in the follow-up to investigate the short-term and long-term treatment effect of islet function through accessing the first secretion function of pancreatic island and calculating insulin resistance(HOMA-IR) and HOMA-B through homeostasis model assessment.

In summary, this study aims to explore the short-term and long-term therapeutic effects in new onset type 2 diabetes, hoping to provide a novel, effective and more convenient treatment method for them.

Study Groups

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

Fasting therapy

Fasting therapy, lasting for 14 days, all subjects are isolated from ordinary food. However, drinking water is not limited and they are encouraged to drink more, at least 3 liters. Besides, they need to take some middle intensity exercise for at least 2 hours. They will take some prescribed medications except for hypoglycemic drugs.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Fasting therapy

Intervention Type OTHER

The target fasting plasma glucose is set below 6.1mmol/l and the postprandial blood glucose below 8.0 mmol/l. After intervention, all the accomplished patients undergo a 1 year period follow-up. Lifestyle guidance will be offered throughout the follow-up.

Exercise

Intervention Type OTHER

Middle intense exercise for at least 2 hours,e.g. brisk walking or jogging

Lifestyle guidance

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Lifestyle guidance is provided by specific physicians through phone calls

Insulin intensive therapy

Insulin intensive therapy, receive continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion. (Human Insulin (Novolin-R, Novo Nordisk) Device: H-Tron Plus V100; Disetronic Medical System, Burgdorf, Switzerland). The insulin dose used will be adjusted everyday according to their glucose by a physician until a target blood glucose level been reached.

The target fasting plasma glucose is set below 6.1mmol/l and the postprandial blood glucose below 8.0 mmol/l. If the glucose target cannot be achieved within 2 weeks or the subjects are not tolerated with this therapy, these members will be exclude from the study and they will receive other treatment according the standard treatment guidelines. After intervention, all the accomplished patients will undergo a 1 year period follow-up. Lifestyle guidance will be offered throughout the follow-up.
