MeasureTime frame
This pilot randomised trial will enable us to: 1. Examine the feasibility of delivering the DESMOND-ID programme 2. Assess eligibility, attendance levels, recruitment process, loss to follow-up, compliance and Hb1Ac of adults with ID and T2D 3. Determine the acceptability of randomisation to the adults with ID and their family/paid carers, using retention rates as a surrogate for acceptability 4. Determine the appropriateness and the acceptability of the outcome measures to the adults with ID through completion rates, in order to see whether the primary outcome measure (HbA1c) and secondary outcome measures (BMI, waist circumference, blood pressure, lipid profiles, CVD risk score, smoking, alcohol use, exercise, perceptions and severity of beliefs and quality of life) can be collected 5. Determine the appropriateness and the acceptability of the outcome measures for the family/paid carers through completion rates 6. Measure compliance of the trainers in delivering the DESMOND-ID programme 7. Estimate the treatment effect to determine whether this suggests a clinically important effect which will support the conduct of the full trial Timepoints for all outcomes: Baseline (Time 1): Jan/Feb 2015 Intervention: Feb 2015 Focus Groups: April/May 2015 Follow-up (Time 2): May/June 2015
