Thanks to the many readers who supplied links and additional information in comments on my last post on that diabetes study run amok (grin).
Phase I = First Year: Lifestyle Intervention [subjects] will be seen four times per month (three group sessions and one individualized session) for six months and then twice per month for six months, with an opportunity for more frequent follow-up. The goal will be to induce a 7-10% weight loss and to increase exercise to 175 minutes per week. Participants assigned to Diabetes Support and Education will be offered three educational/support sessions.
Only the first year was intended to be a weight loss phase.
