In Brief
A clinical study evaluating GLB Group and GLB DVD for Prediabetes and Metabolic Syndrome. Completed, enrolled 48 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to examine different methods of delivering the Group Lifestyle Balance (GLB) intervention (1). The GLB is a 12-week lifestyle change program based on the highly successful lifestyle program that was used in the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP)(2). A DVD of the Group Lifestyle Program has been developed. Conditions called metabolic syndrome and pre-diabetes increase the risk of diabetes and heart disease. Recent research has shown that type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome may be prevented or delayed by making lifestyle changes. A primary care practice will enroll participants who will choose either the GLB-DVD intervention or face-to-face group delivery. Approximately 25 patients will be recruited in each group. It is not known if the GLB intervention delivered via DVD is similarly effective to face-to-face group delivery for people with metabolic syndrome or pre-diabetes. It is hoped that this research study will provide information to help answer that question.
