Diabetes Prevention With Lifestyle Intervention and Metformin Escalation (LIME)
Specific Aim: Implement an evidence-based diabetes prevention pragmatic trial for high risk pre-diabetic individuals of Caribbean-descent to reduce the incidence of diabetes.
Hypothesis: This study seeks to test the hypothesis that implementation of a lifestyle intervention, with escalation to Metformin therapy will lower the incidence of diabetes among the highest risk pre-diabetic individuals of Caribbean-descent.

Detailed Description
The investigators propose to conduct a pragmatic trial that tests the effectiveness of lifestyle modification and Metformin use in minority populations. Our study population is Caribbean-descent individuals in Region 2, Trinidad and Barbados. The investigators will have five clinical intervention sites situated in New York - 2, Puerto Rico -1, Barbados -1, Trinidad -1 and US Virgin Islands -1. These sites were chosen because of the investigators' strong research network in these locations, and to enable us to address diabetes disparities due to geographic differences. The investigators will first modify an established lifestyle modification workshop series developed by the East Harlem Partnership for Diabetes Prevention (EHPDP) for use in the community, 10to target the population at the involved clinical sites. The investigators plan to adapt the D-CLIP protocol and escalate to Metformin therapy for the highest risk pre-diabetic patients whose hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) has not improved or who remain morbidly obese.
The investigators will leverage our existing robust research infrastructure and network at the five sites through our Eastern Caribbean Health Outcomes Research Network (ECHORN) and now the Yale Transdisciplinary Collaborative center for Health Disparities focused on Precision Medicine (Yale-TCC). ECHORN is a research collaboration funded by the NIMHD (U2458849938) to address the burden of chronic disease in USVI, PR and the Eastern Caribbean. The Yale-TCC (U54MD010711) leverages the infrastructure and knowledge of the ECHORN, expands to include New York and New Jersey and focuses on diabetes and hypertension. The investigators' network includes community advisory boards as well as policy delegations that are well suited to inform this project and its expansion into routine healthcare practice and policy.
The control arm of this study was never activated due to COVID-19 restrictions.

---|---|
Experimental: Intervention
Highest risk pre-diabetic patients
|
The lifestyle intervention consists of a series of workshops adapted from the East Harlem Partnerships for Diabetes Prevention that discuss diabetes prevention, finding and affording healthy foods, label reading, physical activity, planning a healthy plate, making traditional foods healthy and portion control. The newly launched East Harlem Diabetes Prevention (EHDP) project's mobile app, iHEED will be used by intervention participants to help reinforce the content they learn during the workshop series.
At 6 months, intervention participants who have not been able to lose weight or bring their HbA1c below the high risk range of 6% (determined by point-of-care testing) will have Metformin prescribed by their provider.
Metformin will be prescribed at 500mg twice a day.
If no change is seen at 12 months follow up, the dose will be increased to 850mg twice a day.

No Intervention: Control
Control participants in existing ECHORN sites (Puerto Rico, Barbados and Trinidad) will be recruited.
ECS does not have a recruitment site in New York; therefore, the New York LIME sites will need to recruit their own control participants, through random assignment of consented participants into the intervention and control groups.

Diabetes Risk Score
Time Frame: 6 months
|
The Diabetes Risk Score has been designed to be a screening tool for identifying high-risk subjects in the population and for increasing awareness of the modifiable risk factors and healthy lifestyle.
The score ranges from 0-20, with a higher score indicating higher risk.
|
6 months
|
Change in Self-Efficacy Score - Personal Control Scale
Time Frame: Baseline and 6 months
|
The Self-efficacy survey is an excerpt from the 43-item Risk Perception Survey for Developing Diabetes, designed for people at high risk for developing diabetes.
It measures perceived comparative and environmental risk for developing diabetes.
Scoring for the self-efficacy questions is done by an average and ranges from 1 to 4, with a higher score indicating more perceived risk.
