A minority of published evidence -based PA interventions for adults with T2D were both effective and pragmatic for clinical implementation .
Although regular physical activity ( PA ) is a cornerstone of treatment for type 2 diabetes ( T2D ) , most adults with T2D are sedentary .
R and omized controlled trials ( RCTs ) have proven the effectiveness of PA behavioral interventions for adults with T2D but have rarely been conducted in healthcare setting s. We sought to identify PA interventions that are effective and practical to implement in clinical practice setting s. Our first aim was to use the valid Pragmatic-Explanatory Continuum Indicator Summary 2 ( PRECIS-2 ) tool to assess the potential for future implementation of PA interventions in clinical practice setting s. Our second aim was to identify interventions that effectively increased PA and glycemic control among the interventions in the top tertile of PRECIS-2 scores .
Long-term lifestyle intervention lowers the incidence of stroke in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes: a nationwide multicentre randomised controlled trial (the Japan Diabetes Complications Study)
Aims /hypothesisThe aim of the study was to clarify whether a therapeutic intervention focused on lifestyle modification affected the incidence of vascular complications in patients with established diabetes . Methods A total of 2,033 eligible Japanese men and women aged 40–70 years with type 2 diabetes from 59 institutes were r and omised to a conventional treatment group ( CON ) , which continued to receive the usual care , and a lifestyle intervention group ( INT ) , which received education on lifestyle modification regarding dietary habits , physical activities and adherence to treatment by telephone counselling and at each outpatient clinic visit , in addition to the usual care . R and omisation and open-label allocation were done by a central computer system . Primary analysis regarding measurements of control status and occurrence of macro- and microvascular complications was based on 1,304 participants followed for an 8 year period . Results Although status of control of most classic cardiovascular risk factors , including body weight , glycaemia , serum lipids and BP , did not differ between groups during the study period , the incidence of stroke in the INT group ( 5.48/1,000 patient-years ) was significantly lower than in the CON group ( 9.52/1,000 patient-years ) by Kaplan – Meier analysis ( p = 0.02 by logrank test ) and by multivariate Cox analysis ( HR 0.62 , 95 % CI 0.39–0.98 , p = 0.04 ) . The incidence of CHD , retinopathy and nephropathy did not differ significantly between groups . Lipoprotein(a ) was another significant independent risk factor for stroke . Conclusions /interpretationThese findings suggest that lifestyle modification had limited effects on most typical control variables , but did have a significant effect on stroke incidence in patients with established type 2 diabetes .
