Scientific titleShort and long term effect of a Very Low Calorie Diet (VLCD) with or without exercise in obese insulin-dependent type 2 diabetes mellitus patients: A randomised controlled trial
Study objectives1. The addition of exercise to a 16-week VLCD will normalise insulin sensitivity
2. The addition of exercise to a 16-week VLCD will further improve insulin signalling in the skeletal muscle cell
3. The addition of exercise to a 16-week VLCD improve quality of life insulin sensitivity long-term
4. The addition of exercise to a 16-week VLCD improve low-grade inflammation long-term
5. Prolonged caloric restriction will improve ectopic fat depositions in the heart, liver and pericardium
Ethics approval(s)Medical ethical committee of the Leiden University Medical Hospital, 08/06/2005
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedDiabetes mellitus type 2
InterventionOne patients group followed a 16-week very low calorie diet.

The other patient group followed a 16-week very low calorie diet combined with an exercise program, which consisted of a one hour in-hospital training weekly, primarily aerobic exercise, under supervision of a physiotherapist. Also four training sessions at home on a cyclo-ergometer for 30 minutes at 70% of maximum aerobic capacity.

Measurements were performed at baseline, directly after the 16-week intervention and 18 months after start of the intervention.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measure1. Insulin sensitivity (as measured by hyperinsulinaemic euglycemic clamp)
2. Insulin signalling (measured in muscle biopsies)
3. Mitochondrial copy number (measured in muscle biopsies)
4. Low grade inflammation (measured in fasting blood samples)
5. Quality of Life (as measured by four different QoL questionnaires)
6. Ectopic fat depositions (as measured by magnetic resonance proton spectroscopy)
Secondary outcome measuresLong-term effects
Overall study start date01/05/2005
