Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The purpose of this study is to conduct a randomized, controlled trial in people with obesity and type 2 diabetes to determine the therapeutic effects of intensive lifestyle therapy conducted at the worksite compared to standard care on: i) the major factors involved in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes (insulin sensitivity, β-cell function and the metabolic response to glucose ingestion), ii) body composition; iii) physical function (cardiorespiratory fitness and muscle strength); iv) and the potential cellular mechanisms that can affect insulin action in muscle and adipose tissue (fat).

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Other: Standard Care
Participants randomized to this arm will receive dietary and physical activity instructions as recommended by the American Diabetes Association (ADA) guidelines.
Behavioral: Standard Care
After receiving dietary and physical activity instructions as recommended by the American Diabetes Association (ADA) guidelines participants will meet approximately every month for about 7 months with a study team member to record body weight, review diet and physical activity behaviors, and document medication use. Participants will continue their routine medical management, including regular clinic visits with their personal physician and/or diabetes educator during their participation in this study. Any changes medications will made by the participants' personal physician(s).
Experimental: Intensive Lifestyle intervention
Participants randomized to this arm will be participate in weekly dietary and behavioral education session in addition to four 60-min supervised exercise training sessions per week for 8 months. All dietary and- behavioral education and exercise training sessions will be conducted at the worksite.
Behavioral: Intensive Lifestyle Intervention
Participants will be instructed to consume ~500 kcal/day less than their calculated estimated total daily energy requirements. The supervised exercise program will include both endurance and resistance exercise training sessions. The doses of diabetes medications will be adjusted by study physicians every 1-2 weeks, as needed to avoid hypoglycemia.
