Life Without Diabetes

The aim of the study 'Live - without diabetes' is to investigate the effects of increased physical activity on a daily basis with or without (high intense interval training) HIIT (short and intense: 3 minutes per week) during 12 weeks in risk individuals with pre-diabetes

About this study

A total of 125 individuals with pre-diabetes will be included and randomized into four different groups (N=25, each group): 1) Increased daily activity detected by the pedometer, 2) increased daily activity detected by the pedometer + HIIT, 3) HIIT, and 4) increased daily activity detected by the pedometer + group intervention 5) a control group (maintain unchanged activity and life-style during the duration of the study).

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Body mass index (BMI) > 25 kg/m2
  • Prediabetes: 6.1 % ≤ glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) ≤ 6.4 % and / or increased fasting plasma glucose (FPG): 6.1 mM ≤ FPG ≤ 6.9 mM and / or abnormal glucose tolerance (7.8 mM ≤ 2 hour plasma glucose (PG) ≤ 11.0 mmol)
  • Weekly training status <150 minutes

Exclusion criteria

  • BMI <25 kg/m2
  • Diabetes
  • Pregnancy and breastfeeding
  • Treatment with medicine, there influence glucose metabolism

Primary outcomes

  1. Changes in insulin sensitivity

    Time frame: At baseline and after 12 weeks

    The primary endpoint is insulin sensitivity, and it will be assessed by changes in the area under the curve from baseline to end-of-study assessed by the Cederholm Index and Matsuda Index

Secondary outcomes

  1. Changes in oxygen peak oxygen uptake

    Time frame: At baseline and after 12 weeks

    Assessed from a physical fitness test (VO2peak)

  2. Changes in glycaemic control

    Time frame: At baseline and after 12 weeks

    Measured as fasting plasma glucose, HbA1c

  3. Changes in key proteins in glucose and fat metabolism (Skeletal muscle)

    Time frame: At baseline and after 12 weeks

    Expression/content of key proteins in skeletal muscle tissure (AU units)

  4. Changes in body weight (kg)

    Time frame: At baseline and after 12 weeks

    Measured by Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry, DXA

  5. Changes in key proteins in glucose and fat metabolism (Adipose fat tissure)

    Time frame: At baseline and after 12 weeks

    Expression/content of key proteins in adipose tissue (AU units)

  6. Patient-reported outcome measure

    Time frame: At baseline and after 12 weeks

    Health related quality of life measured from Short Form 36 (SF36). Where scores are presented as norm-based scores (0-100) with higher scores indicating better perceived health status.
