Brief Summary

Inactivity and excess energy consumption are leading causes of obesity and type 2 diabetes which are associated with increased cardio-metabolic risk. In order to reduce the cardiovascular risk associated with type 2 diabetes, the Canadian Diabetes Association guidelines (2008) recommends weight loss through caloric restriction and structured physical activity. However, the comparative effects of different methods to obtain caloric deficit for weight loss remains to be elucidated. The main objective of this study is to assess the impact of two strategies of caloric deficit: diet alone or diet and exercise on total fat mass, epicardial fat and cardiovascular risk factors in overweight and obese adults with type 2 diabetes and at high risk of cardiovascular disease.

Study Arms (3)

Optimized usual care

NO INTERVENTION

participants will attend one visit with the dietician (30mn) and the physical activity specialist (30mn) when they will be given Canadian guidelines pamphlets for physical activity and food consumption. They will also receive a phone call once a month to discuss about issues in guidelines following.

Diet intervention alone

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Participants will attend one visit with the physical activity specialist (30mn) when they will receive the physical activity guidelines. Monthly phone call will be make to discuss about issues in physical activity guidelines following.These individuals will also be enrolled in a supervised caloric restriction program. They will have to visit the dietician once a week for the first months and then twice a month for 3 months. The diet intervention will focus on a low fat diet. At each session participants will be weighed and taken the blood pressure.

Behavioral: Caloric restriction

diet intervention and exercise program

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Participants will attend diet intervention as described for group 2. They will also follow a supervised exercise program three days per week for 4 months. The exercise training is an interval high intensity aerobic (85-90% heart rate reserve) program with resistance exercises (15RM, 2-3 repetitions). Each session will last one hour. At the end of month 1, 2, and 3, all participants will receive the SWA armband for 7 days to record physical activity and estimate energy expenditure. At the end of Month 4, all participants will attend a study visit for repeat baseline testing.

Behavioral: Diet intervention and structured exercise training program

Interventions

The caloric restriction diet will follow the Canadian Diabetes Association guidelines and be nutritionally balanced with a reduced total fat as well as saturated content.

Also known as: Structured diet intervention (caloric restriction)
Diet intervention alone

Participants will follow the diet intervention previously described and a supervised physical activity program. The supervised exercise training sessions will take place three times a week for 4 months. Each session will last 1hour and will include aerobic exercise and resistance training. The aerobic training program will be treadmills intervals exercise at 50-70 % of heart rate reserve(HRR) the first month and 85-90% of HRR from the second to the fourth month. The resistance training programme will consist of two to three sets of 12 repetitions of the following exercises: leg press, chest press, lat pulldown, shoulder press, biceps curl, triceps extension.

Also known as: diet intervention and exercise program.
