Abstract
Objective
To investigate the effect of visualizing blood glucose variability by intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring (isCGM) on weight reduction in overweight individuals with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) or mild type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Materials and methods
Forty overweight (BMI, ≥25 kg/m2) individuals with IGT or T2DM (drug naïve; HbA1c, ≤7.0 %) were included in this 24-week randomized controlled trial. Participants were randomly assigned to the control group (diet and exercise therapy) or the isCGM group (diet and exercise therapy plus isCGM). The primary endpoint was the change in body weight during the 24-week intervention period.
Results
One participant in the isCGM group withdrew consent. We therefore analyzed 19 individuals in the isCGM group and 20 in the control group. Baseline BMI was significantly higher in the isCGM group (35.2 ± 5.7 kg/m²) compared to the control group (31.6 ± 6.8 kg/m²). Weight change in the isCGM and control groups (–1.8 and –2.2 kg) did not differ. However, the change in coefficient of variation (–0.9 and 2.9 %) of sensor glucose differed significantly between the two groups. isCGM scan frequency was positively correlated with time above range (TAR) during the first month, positively correlated with the change in protein intake, and negatively correlated with that in TAR.
Conclusion
While isCGM use in overweight individuals with IGT or mild T2DM did not reduce body weight, it might have influence dietary behavior. The negative correlation between scan frequency and TAR, and the positive correlation between scan frequency and protein intake suggest that self-awareness of glucose fluctuations contributed to behavioral change.
期刊介绍:
The aim of Obesity Research & Clinical Practice (ORCP) is to publish high quality clinical and basic research relating to the epidemiology, mechanism, complications and treatment of obesity and the complication of obesity. Studies relating to the Asia Oceania region are particularly welcome, given the increasing burden of obesity in Asia Pacific, compounded by specific regional population-based and genetic issues, and the devastating personal and economic consequences. The journal aims to expose health care practitioners, clinical researchers, basic scientists, epidemiologists, and public health officials in the region to all areas of obesity research and practice. In addition to original research the ORCP publishes reviews, patient reports, short communications, and letters to the editor (including comments on published papers). The proceedings and abstracts of the Annual Meeting of the Asia Oceania Association for the Study of Obesity is published as a supplement each year.
