Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to examine different ways 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. Two local primary care practices will be randomly assigned to either the GLB-DVD intervention or usual care. Two additional practices will provide the GLB using trained preventionists for delivery. Approximately 15 patients will be recruited in each practice. It is not known if the GLB intervention works better than what is usually done at the present time for people with metabolic syndrome or pre-diabetes. It is hoped that this research study will provide information to help answer that question.
