NCT00460018
The primary aim of this study is to evaluate whether a lifestyle intervention of diet, exercise, and breastfeeding is associated with decreased postpartum weight retention and reduced plasma glucose levels, measured at 6-weeks and 1-year postpartum, among women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Secondary outcomes are postpartum levels of plasma insulin, markers of insulin resistance, adiponectin, dietary fat, physical activity, and breastfeeding duration.

Type 2 diabetics (non-insulin-dependent) are more than five times as likely to suffer an initial myocardial infarction (MI; heart attack) compared to nondiabetics.Female diabetics in particular, have a higher mortality rate for coronary artery disease (CAD) than male diabetics.C-reactive protein measurement in the clinical setting enhances the detection of individuals who are at high risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD), by providing additional predictive value. We propose to study the effects of a supervised exercise and diet intervention on cardiovascular disease risk in postmenopausal diabetic women. We will recruit 35 postmenopausal, sedentary type 2 diabetics who will undergo a 3 month exercise and dietary intervention. They will exercise 3 times a week for 30 min in a supervised setting. Exercise mode will be aerobic and self-selected (i.e. treadmill, bike) at an intensity level of 50-85% VO2peak. Blood glucose will be monitored before and after exercise. The dietary intervention will consist of 6 meetings with a registered dietitian. The study is designed to test the following hypotheses: * Cardiovascular disease risk measures will be different following a 3-month exercise and diet intervention. * H1: Blood markers for coronary artery disease risk, as measured by CRP, TC, LDL, TG, FG, fasting insulin, and HbA1c, will be different following a 3-month exercise and diet intervention. * H2: Anthropometric measures of coronary artery disease risk, as measured by WHR, will be different following a 3-month exercise and diet intervention. * H3: Resting blood pressure, as measured by SBP and DBP, will be different following a 3-month exercise and diet intervention. * H4: Total body fat, as measured by DXA, will be different following a 3-month exercise and diet intervention. * Health-related measures will be different following a 3-month exercise and diet intervention. * H1: Cardiorespiratory fitness, as measured by maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max) will be different following a 3-month exercise and diet intervention. * H2: Bone-mineral density, as measured by DXA, will be different following a 3-month exercise and diet intervention. * H3: Dietary measures (total daily kcal, and daily fat kcal) will be different following a 3-month exercise and diet intervention.
