Type 2 Diabetes Prevention in the Real World: Three-year results of the GOAL Lifestyle Implementation Trial

OBJECTIVE: We study the effectiveness of the GOAL Lifestyle Implementation Trial at the 36-month follow-up. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: Participants (n = 352, type 2 diabetes risk score FINDRISC = 16.2 ± 3.3, BMI 32.6 ± 5.0 kg/m(2)) received six lifestyle counseling sessions over 8 months. Measurem...

Sumario:OBJECTIVE: We study the effectiveness of the GOAL Lifestyle Implementation Trial at the 36-month follow-up. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: Participants (n = 352, type 2 diabetes risk score FINDRISC = 16.2 ± 3.3, BMI 32.6 ± 5.0 kg/m(2)) received six lifestyle counseling sessions over 8 months. Measurements were at baseline, 12 months (88.6%), and 36 months (77.0%). RESULTS: Statistically significant risk reduction at 12 months was maintained at 36 months in weight (−1.0 ± 5.6 kg), BMI (−0.5 ± 2.1 kg/m(2)), and serum total cholesterol (−0.4 ± 1.1 mmol/l). CONCLUSIONS: Maintenance of risk reduction in this “real world” trial proves the intervention's potential for significant public health impact.
