A Randomized Trial Evaluating the Effects of One-Year Caloric Restriction and 12-Week Exercise Training Intervention in Obese Adults With Type 2 Diabetes: Emphasis on Metabolic Control and Resting Metabolic Rate
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Caloric restriction and Exercise training for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Completed, enrolled 23 participants.
Detailed Summary
Diabetic patients with uncontrolled disease are often characterized by increased energy expenditure and could thus present a high resting metabolic rate (RMR). Lifestyle interventions aimed at improving glucose control in these patients may lead to reductions of futile pathways, resulting in lower rates of energy expenditure, and paradoxically to making it more difficult to lose weight. However, only few studies investigated how exercise could influence patients' RMR and results are still not unanimous. In this study, we aim to investigate the effects on metabolic health of a combined dietary intervention and 12-week exercise training in obese adults with type 2 diabetes.

Timeline
Interventions
A structured dietary training will be implemented to educate participants about recommended dietary habits.Patients will follow a caloric restriction (CR) diet, with an energy intake equal to the measured Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) and with 45% carbohydrate, 20%protein, 35%fat, and 30 g/day fibers. At each follow-up, nutritionist will adjust CR to the latest measured RMR and assess the compliance to the diet.
Trainers will supervise participants during 12-weeks of structured exercise consisting of 150 min/week workouts, divided in three sessions of progressive mixed (aerobic and resistance) exercise. All aerobic exercise will be performed using treadmill and/or cycle ergo-meter.
