Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary outcome will be assessed at 1 year, and will be a success rate of patients with HbA1c less than 6.5% without diabetes medication. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Changes in weight and BMI, waist circumference, HbA1c, fasting glucose, fasting insulin, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, lipid profile (serum total cholesterol, LDL 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). 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 | — |
