Description of intervention(s) / exposure

A six session group behaviour intervention program was run.The first session, an individual session with participant and facilitator, a risk assessment and goal setting session was facilitatored either face to face or over the phone, if difficulties meeting up arose. The individual session took up to an hour to complete. The remaining 5 sessions commenced two weeks after the individual session and were group based, at two week intervals. Topics included: physical activity, fats, fibre, sleep. Each session was run for approximately 2 hours, each with up to 12 participants. The sessions were run by specially trained facilitators who have a health-related background, the intention was to have the same facilitator run all the sessions for the same group, independently as to build a rapport with the participants. Along with the topics listed before each session covered goal setting, motivation and managing setbacks. At three and six months, there was a telephone follow up, maintenance sessions with the same facilitator that took the group sessions. An additional amendment allowed a small group of women in the study (31) to receive a telephone based lifestyle intervention program. These participants had NOT attended the MAGDA face to face group intervention. To differentiate this group the intervention was called TeleMAGDA. The intervention was based on the same topics as the group based MAGDA program but was done over seven, individual, 30-60 minute telephone coaching sessions, again one every 2 weeks. As for MAGDA the phone coach/facilitator was run by specially trained facilitators who had a health-related background, the intention was to have the same facilitator run all the sessions for the same individual.

Comparator / control treatment

A control group will receive usual care from their General Practitioner (GP) for the 12 month period. Usual care will vary depending on the care plan prepared by each GP. Each care plan will be prepared by the GP (independent of the study), and information will collected by the study at the end of the 12 month period. At the end of the 12 months, control participants will be offered the Lifestyle Intervention Program.

Outcomes

Primary outcome [1]

The estimation of reduction in the risk of type 2 diabetes imputed form the outcomes of clinical trials, using extrapolation of the changes in weight and waist circumference. Previous research has shown that by using an international benchmark study (The Diabetes Prevention Study) as a reference population, a single pretest and post test study design can be used to calculate diabetes risk reduction.

Timepoint [1]

Baseline, 3 months or following the group sessions, whichever is later (intervention group only) and 12 months

Primary outcome [2]

Weight, waist, fasting glucose levels. All procedures are to follow the international recommendations outlined in the WHO MONICA Protocol and the European Health Risk Monitoring Project. All primary outcome measures were collected by trained nurse or phlebotomist. Standard operating procedures were followed and quality of data collection was assessed quarterly. Weight was measured by a Weight Scale MS3200 (Charder). Participants removed all heavy garments and shoes and emptied their pockets. The scale was placed on a hard surface and weight measured in kg. Waist circumference was measured using a tape measure – brand Seca 203. Waist was measured at a level midway between the lower rib margin and the iliac crest with a tape around the body in a horizontal position. Waist circumference was recorded to the resolution of the tape measure rule to the closest 1mm with data collector at eye level. Fasting glucose was measured by serum assay via venepuncture following a minimum of 8 hours fasting.

Timepoint [2]

Baseline and at 12 months (+/- 3 months)

Secondary outcome [1]

Comparative information from clinical measures (blood pressure, hip measurements, and blood lipids/fats/glucose) from intervention and control participants. More specifically, blood pressure will be assessed using a simple mercury sphygmomanometer; hip measurements will be taken using a plastic tailors measuring tape; and blood lipids/fats and glucose will be assessed by blood analysis of blood taken from the vein in the antecubital fossa.

Timepoint [1]

Baseline, 3 months or following the group sessions, whichever is later (intervention group only) and 12 months

Secondary outcome [2]

Comparative information from behavioural measures (as assessed by validated clinical tools, including: Hospital Depression and Anxiety Scale, Fat and Fibre barometer and Quality of Life Questionnaire) from intervention and control participants

Timepoint [2]

Baseline and 12 months (+/-3 months)

Secondary outcome [3]

Health economic information about the Lifestyle program (and comparison with usual care) will be assessed by combining the cost data with the clinical and behaviuoral data to produce a range of incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICER). This ICER will be comapred to a reference threshold (i.e $50,000 per quality-adjusted life years (QALY)) to determine 'value for money'. The modelled evaluation will use a Markov appraoch to estimate the health impacts of changes in diabetes risk status over the lifetime of participants.

Timepoint [3]

12 months from baseline

Allocation to intervention

Randomised controlled trial

Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)

All women who receive a diagnosis of gestational diabetes will be invited to participate. All potential participants will be screened for diabetes. Once diabetes has been excluded, participants will be randomly allocated into the intervention or control groups. The block randomisation will be generated by creating separate randomisation lists for each ‘venue’ or ‘stratum’.
Each list will be supplied as a separate file and imported into the current MAGDA management database which selects the next available sequence number for the venu/stratum. This sequence number is displayed along with the assignment code (control or intervention) to the user in the randomisation office
Individual participants will be randomised into the intervention or control arm after the baseline blood results have been received by the MAGDA DPP Project Manager/ RA. If the participant does not have diabetes, the MAGDA DPP Project Manager/ RA will notify the or Sr Program Manager will randomize the participant using the MAGDA management database. The participant will be informed of the outcome of randomisation along with the results from The block randomisation will be generated by creating separate randomisation lists for each ‘venue’ or ‘stratum’

Efficacy

Statistical methods / analysis

Sample Size - With a sample with a sample size of more than 215 in each arm, the trial is powered to detect an effect size of 0.27 (assuming mean difference between intervention and control groups 0.14 mmol/L, within group standard deviation 0.5 mmol/L) for fasting plasma glucose over 12 months with a two-sided test conducted at the 5% significance level and 80% power. This effect size is supported by the results of the GGT DPP and Finnish DPS, and, to allow for 25% dropout within trial arms, the total number of participants to be recruited is 574 (287 in each arm).
Data Analysis - Clinical measures and changes (between baseline and follow-up) in outcomes of GDM-DPP women will be compared with measurements of the control group. The difference in the change in outcome measures (e.g. waist circumference) between the two studied groups will be analysed using t-tests and mixed-model analyses. The intention-to-treat principle will be adhered to and analyses of all outcome variables will be conducted using information from all randomized women according to the treatment and stratum to which they were assigned during the randomization process. Sensitivity analyses, from which women with major protocol deviations will be excluded, will be conducted on the three primary outcome variables. Major protocol deviations will be defined in the Statistical Analysis Plan and include but are not limited to: established diabetes and pregnancy at any time on study.
The analysis of usual care in the identification, management, and costs of diabetes and its risk factors will be conducted in the registered population using health economic and statistical methods.
Regression analysis, including logistic regression, will be used to identify baseline variables that predict successful outcomes and adherence.
The reduction in the risk of diabetes will be estimated from the outcomes of published clinical trials of diabetes prevention, using extrapolation of the changes in fasting plasma glucose, weight and waist circumference across all time periods.

Summary

Brief summary

A very strong predictor for developing diabetes is having diabetes during pregnancy. In the vast majority of cases, pregnancy diabetes resolves after the delivery of the baby, but these women are then at high risk of subsequently developing type 2 diabetes. This project aims to reduce this risk. Women who have developed diabetes during pregnancy will be invited to take part. A lifestyle modification program will be developed and evaluated for these women so that their risk of progressing to diabetes is reduced. Reduced risk will be assessed by monitoring clinical and behavioural outcomes of participants in the lifestyle program before and after completion (particularly any reduction in diabetes risk, weight and central body obesity, and changes in quality of life) and by comparing these with another group receiving usual care at the same time.
