Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary outcome will be assessed at 1 year, and will be a composite of parameters of optimal diabetes management: glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) < 7.0%, fasting LDL cholesterol < 100 mg/dl and systolic blood pressure < 130 mmHg. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The secondary outcomes will be assessed 1 year after the intervention begins. 1. Changes in weight and BMI, waist circumference, fasting glucose, fasting insulin, lipid profile (serum total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides) 2. Changes in urine microalbumin/creatinine ratio and resolution of co-morbid renal function illness. 3. Use of medications (as measured by dosages and cost) 4. Total cost of diabetes- and CVD-related health care 5. Measures from three surveys: Quality of life (SF-36), depression (CES-D), and a brief version Questionnaire for Eating and Weight Patterns-Revised (QEWP-R) to assess binge eating disorder. The surveys will be collected at the baseline, 6 months, and 12 months. 6. Mortality 7. Cardiovascular events (myocardial infarction, stroke, other serious CVD) 8. Complications from surgery | — |
