Effects of Caloric Restriction in Obesity and Type 2 Diabetes (CRESO2)

Long-term Effects of Caloric Restriction on Metabolic, Renal End Retinal Health in Subjectsaffected by Obesityand Type 2 Diabetes

The study investigates whether a long-term 25% caloric restriction can prevent onset and/or progression of renal function deterioration, retinal involvement and cardiovascular complications in overweight/obese type 2 diabetic patients, trough the amelioration of concomitant metabolic abnormalities such as visceral obesity, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, hypertension and inflammation.

The main aim of the study is therefore to evaluate the role of calorie restriction (CR) on subjects at risk of nephropathy. Secondary aims are to better understand the relationship between CR and the following aspects: renal disease and its associated metabolic abnormalities, retinopathy and cardiovascular complications, quality of life and treatment cost.

How is the study designed?

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Prevention
  • Allocation: Randomized
  • Interventional Model: Parallel Assignment
  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Calorie restriction (25%)
CR will correspond to a reduction of 25% from the total daily calorie expenditure calculated as Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) (kcal/d) using the formula from the validated Seven-Day Physical Activity Recall (PAR) Questionnaire (RMR x activity levels).
Active Comparator: Ad libitum health diet

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Time Frame

Time Frame: At baseline, 6, 12 and 24 month
At baseline, 6, 12 and 24 month
