NCT02093676
It is presumed that families of poorly controlled diabetic adolescents (type 1) would benefit from parents' counselling, guided by "the New Authority" model.
NCT02768987
Physical inactivity occurs among 65% to 95% of youth with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and based upon limited evidence may contribute to the rapidly growing incidence of overweight among this population. The purpose of the present study is to pilot test a 12-week intensive lifestyle program for adolescents with overweight and T1D utilizing group exercise classes adapted for this population, supplemented with coping skills training and diabetes self-management education to address problem solving behaviors that limit their physical activity and weight control. Our primary aim is to evaluate the changes in physical activity adherence, anthropometrics, and self-management behaviors following this program among sedentary adolescents with T1D and overweight (n=25, OW) compared with sedentary adolescents with T1D and normal weight (n=25, NW). We hypothesize that the OW group will achieve improve physical activity adherence and anthropometrics to the same or greater extent as the NW group and previous Bright Bodies cohorts, and that these changes will correlate with improved exercise-related problem solving. Our secondary aim is to evaluate changes in adipocytokines and epigenetic factors related to the etiology of overweight/obesity following our physical activity intervention. We hypothesize changes in these biomarkers will correlate with changes in anthropometry variables and partially explain any differences in response between the groups and individuals should those occur.

Obesity is a serious medical condition, the adverse consequences of which include increased risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, reduced fertility and cancer. The economic cost of obesity was placed at $58 billion dollars in Australia in 2008 \[1\]. Studies in mice and non-human primates have shown that moderate caloric restriction (CR) increases lifespan and reduces the incidence of cardiovascular disease, cancer, and type 2 diabetes \[2\]. Reduced risk of chronic diseases is also observed in humans following CR \[3\]. However, daily CR is difficult to maintain long term, since the body defends against weight loss by inducing "metabolic adaptation"\[3\] and altering the hormonal appetite response \[4\]. An emerging number of studies are examining the effects of limiting food intake to prescribed time periods per day, or every other day. Time restricted feeding (TRF) describes a dieting approach where food is available ad libitum, however only for a limited period of time (i.e. 3-12 hours). This pilot study will examine the effects of restricting daily food intake to within a 10 hour period on glycaemic control, body weight and biomarkers of metabolic health for 6-weeks. This study will build on the existing knowledge base in humans as to whether meal timing, rather than caloric restriction per se, is important to provide the stimulus required to improve metabolic health and reduce risk of chronic disease.
