The Healthy Living Partnerships to Prevent Diabetes study: 2-year outcomes of a randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Since the Diabetes Prevention Project (DPP) demonstrated that lifestyle weight-loss interventions can reduce the incidence of diabetes by 58%, several studies have translated the DPP methods to public health-friendly contexts. Although these studies have demonstrated short-term effects, no study to date has examined the impact of a translated DPP intervention on blood glucose and adiposity beyond 12 months of follow-up.

Purpose

To examine the impact of a 24-month, community-based diabetes prevention program on fasting blood glucose, insulin, insulin resistance as well as body weight, waist circumference, and BMI in the second year of follow-up.

Design

An RCT comparing a 24-month lifestyle weight-loss program (LWL) to an enhanced usual care condition (UCC) i
