Lifestyle Intervention in Obesity, Effect on Diabetes
Summary
There are evidence from numerous studies on effect of lifestyle intervention in morbidly obese patients with type 2 diabetes. This study examines the effect of the "Evje-model" on type 2 diabetes.
The "Evje-model" is a combined 12 months model, consisting of repeated stays in a specialist centre, telephone follow-up at home, home groups, self monitoring and close contact with the patients’ local physician.
Description
There will be done QOL-measures, blood- and urine analysis, weight, waist- and hip measurement, blood pressure and VO2-max measurement at baseline, after 6 months and after 12 months.

Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Prediabetic State
The time period before the development of symptomatic diabetes. For example, certain risk factors can be observed in subjects who subsequently develop INSULIN RESISTANCE as in type 2 diabetes (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 2).
Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2
A subclass of DIABETES MELLITUS that is not INSULIN-responsive or dependent (NIDDM). It is characterized initially by INSULIN RESISTANCE and HYPERINSULINEMIA; and eventually by GLUCOSE INTOLERANCE; HYPERGLYCEMIA; and overt diabetes. Type II diabetes mellitus is no longer considered a disease exclusively found in adults. Patients seldom develop KETOSIS but often exhibit OBESITY.
Rats, Inbred Bb
A strain of Rattus norvegicus which is a model for spontaneous insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, INSULIN-DEPENDENT).
Models, Statistical
Statistical formulations or analyses which, when applied to data and found to fit the data, are then used to verify the assumptions and parameters used in the analysis. Examples of statistical models are the linear model, binomial model, polynomial model, two-parameter model, etc.
Rats, Brattleboro
A mutant strain of Rattus norvegicus used in research on renal function and hypertension and as a disease model for diabetes insipidus.
