Study Overview
This study explored how structured dietary and exercise interventions can help delay diabetes in prediabetic patients. Prediabetes increases the risk of developing diabetes, and the researchers aimed to see if specific lifestyle changes could make a difference.
Participants
A total of 542 prediabetic patients participated in the study. They were selected based on common prediabetes criteria, including fasting blood glucose levels and hemoglobin A1c measurements.
Intervention Groups
Participants were randomly divided into four groups for 6 months:
- Routine community intervention
- Dietary intervention
- Exercise intervention
- Combined structured anti-inflammatory and antioxidant dietary and exercise interventions (SAIDEs)
Key Findings
After 6 months, all intervention groups showed:
- Reduced body weight and blood pressure
- Lower blood cholesterol and glucose levels
- Improved β-cell function
- Increased physical activity
Additionally, inflammatory markers in the blood improved significantly. Importantly, the prevalence of abnormal blood glucose markers decreased in all groups.
Long-term Impact
While the short-term interventions did not significantly reduce the overall incidence of diabetes over 8 years, they did delay its onset, especially in the group receiving SAIDEs.
