What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

Over 24 million Americans are over 65 years and have prediabetes. Prediabetes can be addressed using a public health approach: among the 20% of participants in the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) who were ages 60 and over, the diet and physical activity intervention conferred a 71% risk reduction of diabetes after an average follow-up of 3 years. The population of older adults is projected to more than double from 52.5 million in 2019 to \~100 million by 2060, and if projections hold, about half (48.3%) will have prediabetes. The proposed hybrid effectiveness implementation type 1 design will compare a DPP program Tailored for Older Adults and delivered via Telehealth (DPP-TOAT arm) to an in person DPP tailored for older adults (DPP arm) using a randomized, controlled trial design (n=230). The preliminary data suggests DPP-TOAT is a feasible and acceptable way to deliver the DPP to older adults, and this will be the first study to compare the effectiveness and implementation of two strategies (telehealth versus in-person) to deliver a tailored DPP for the unique needs of the growing population of older adults.

Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

The trial does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications, but you cannot participate if you are taking FDA-approved weight loss medications.

Is the Diabetes Prevention Program safe for humans?

The Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) has been evaluated in multiple studies and is generally considered safe for humans, as it focuses on lifestyle changes to prevent diabetes.12345

What makes the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) treatment unique for prediabetes?

The Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) is unique because it is a lifestyle intervention that can be delivered via telehealth, making it accessible to more people, including older adults. It focuses on lifestyle changes rather than medication, and has been shown to significantly reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.12456

What data supports the effectiveness of the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) treatment for prediabetes?

The Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) is shown to reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 58% over three years for people with prediabetes, according to research supported by the American Medical Association and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.12456

What Are the Treatments Tested in This Trial?

Interventions

  • DPP
  • DPP-TOAT
Trial Overview The study compares two versions of the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP): one delivered in person and another tailored for older adults via telehealth. It aims to see which method is more effective at preventing diabetes among seniors.

Published Research Related to This Trial

The Veterans Affairs Diabetes Prevention Program (VA-DPP) showed higher fidelity in delivery compared to the usual MOVE! program, indicating it may be more effectively implemented in clinical settings.
Participant satisfaction was generally higher in the VA-DPP, suggesting that this program not only has better implementation but also resonates more positively with participants, which is crucial for long-term success.

The Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) can reduce the incidence of diabetes by 58% over three years for individuals with prediabetes, yet most patients are unaware of their condition.
With Medicare coverage starting in 2018, the DPP has become more accessible for patients over 65, highlighting the need for healthcare providers to implement screening and referral processes for prediabetes.
Practical Tips for Implementing the Diabetes Prevention Program in Clinical Practice.Jasik, CB., Joy, E., Brunisholz, KD., et al.[2019]
The Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) effectively identified high-risk adults for type 2 diabetes, with 27% of participants showing impaired glucose tolerance and 13% having previously undiagnosed diabetes based on oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTT).
Fasting capillary glucose levels, along with age and BMI, significantly improved the screening process for high-risk individuals across various ethnic groups, suggesting it can enhance the efficiency of diabetes prevention strategies.
