Effect of Conventional Lifestyle Interventions on Type 2 Diabetes Incidence by Glucose-Defined Prediabetes Phenotype: An Individual Participant Data Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

Diabetes CarePublished Individual participant data meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials

Authors' conclusion

Conventional lifestyle interventions reduced diabetes incidence in people with IGT (with or without IFG) but not in those with i-IFG.

Study context

Population
People with prediabetes (isolated impaired fasting glucose (i-IFG), isolated impaired glucose tolerance (i-IGT) or IFG+IGT) in RCTs of conventional lifestyle interventions; mean age 53.0 years, 60.7% men
Participants
2,794 people4 RCTs
Comparison
Conventional lifestyle interventions vs control, by glucose-defined prediabetes phenotype
  • i-IFGn = 1,240
  • i-IGTn = 796
  • IFG+IGTn = 758
Outcome

Pooled result

As reported in the abstract

Diabetes incidence, lifestyle intervention effect by phenotype
GroupPooled HR
i-IFG0.97 (95% CI 0.66, 1.44)
i-IGT0.65 (0.44, 0.96)
IFG+IGT0.51 (0.38, 0.68)

Pooled HR

i-IFG0.97 (95% CI 0.66, 1.44)
i-IGT0.65 (0.44, 0.96)
IFG+IGT0.51 (0.38, 0.68)
  • Between i-IFG and i-IGT: P for interaction = 0.01 — heterogeneity of effect across all three phenotypes
