A Portion-controlled Diet Will Prevent Weight Gain in Diabetics Treated With ACTOS (TAKE II)

January 22, 2016 updated by: George A. Bray, Pennington Biomedical Research Center
We hypothesized that a portion controlled diet would prevent the weight gain associated with the use of a peroxisome profliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPAR-g). This is a 4 months randomized clinical trial in type 2 diabetics who are treated with pioglitazone and a standard diet, pioglitazone and a portion-controlled diet and metformin with a standard diet.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

A total of 60 male and female type 2 diabetic subjects will be recruited and randomized into 1 of 3 treatment groups for the 4 months long trial

  1. ACTOS plus a standard diet
  2. ACTOS plus a portion-controlled diet
  3. Metformin plus a standard diet. The end-point of the trial is the change in body fat content from baseline to the end of the trial
