Study objectivesThat lifestyle intervention carried out in primary health care settings reduces the risk of type two diabetes among high risk individuals [added 07/10/2008] and that the reduction in risk can be continued through telephone support.

Please note that as of 07/10/2008 the initial anticipated end date of this trial was extended from 30/11/2006 to 31/12/2007. Other minor changes to this trial record can be found under the relevant section, with the above update date.
Ethics approval(s)Approval received from the Flinders Clinical Research Ethics Committee on the 8th March 2004 (ref: 105/034).
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedType two diabetes
InterventionDuring a 12-month period, participants undergo a series of tests at three points (at the start of the study, three months, and 12 months) and a series of six structured group counselling sessions. The first five sessions are carried out in two-week intervals and the final (i.e. sixth) session is carried out eight months from the beginning of the intervention.

Project nurses, dieticians and physiotherapists facilitate all group sessions and the duration of each session is 1.5 hours. The group sessions aim to motivate and support participants to change their dietary and physical activity habits and to provide them with the skills and social support to set their own goals for lifestyle change.

Added 07/10/2008:
Following the initial intervention, completing participants will be randomised into telephone support (intervention) and self-care only (control). Telephone support will consist of structured phone calls conducted by trained nurses, once a month for 6 months, then every 2 months for 12 months.

Discussions during phone calls will focus on goals for lifestyle change made by participants during the initial intervention and should take approximately 15 minutes each.
