Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The overall objective is to compare the short-term effectiveness of three glucose-lowering interventions (physical activity, metformin, and dapagliflozin) on glucose variability, body composition, and cardiometabolic risk factors in overweight or obese individuals with pre-diabetes (HbA1c 6.0-6.4%). ; Secondary Objective: Secondary objectives are to identify subgroups with different phenotypes who do not respond or respond better than others to lifestyle and pharmacological interventions. Also, to determine how daily exercise bouts and time spent in sedentary and in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity intensities are related to measures of glucose variability, insulin sensitivity and beta cell function. ;Primary end point(s): Reduction in mean amplitude of glycaemic excursions (MAGE) from baseline to end-of treatment (measured over 48 hours in the middle of the 6-day measurement periods). ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: After 13 weeks of intervention and 26 weeks after baseline

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: After 13 weeks of intervention and 26 weeks after baseline; Secondary end point(s): Changes from baseline to end-of-treatment and to 3-months follow-up: •Reduction in HbA1c •Reduction in intra-day glycaemic variability (CONGA (28)); •Reduction in daily time spent >6.1 mmol/L, >7.0 mmol/L, >7.8 mmol/L, and >11.1 mmol/L; •Reduction in fasting and 2-hour glucose concentrations during OGTT; •Improvement in insulin secretion, insulin sensitivity and disposition index; •Reduction of MAGE and CONGA in subgroups of individuals with different baseline characteristics; •Reduction in body weight and change in body fat distribution; •Changes in basal and physical activity energy expenditure and substrate oxidation; •Changes in time spent sedentary and in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity intensity; •Reduction in blood pressure and lipids; • Changes in biomarkers of metabolic functions (e.g. metabolites, phospholipids, amino acids, inflammatory markers); •Number of adverse events and side effects; •Changes in self-rated health and quality of life; •Adherence to the different interventions.
