Detailed Description
The proposed study will assess the feasibility of an intensive lifestyle program to reverse newly onset prediabetes (HbA1c ≥ 5.7% to 6.4%) in patients with coronary heart disease that would otherwise start a standard cardiac rehabilitation programme (12 weeks with twice weekly exercise, nutrition, and nursing counselling). The patients will be offered an upgraded 6-month intensive team-based multidisciplinary stepwise program with the goal of remitting prediabetes. The program will consist of a 3-month synchronous nutritional, exercise, and motivational intervention and of a 3-month maintenance and follow-up period.
The DIABEPIC prevent 1 study is a single-arm, open-label study aiming to demonstrate the feasibility of an intensive multidisciplinary stepwise intervention in newly diagnosed prediabetic and coronary heart disease patients, ultimately aiming to remit prediabetes.
The purpose of this first study is to devise and iteratively improve participant recruitment and adherence strategies for a possible future randomized controlled trial. It also includes as goals: to study the efficacy and adherence of an intensive multicomponent lifestyle intervention, to study the proportion of patients that improve or remit their insulin resistant state, to study the changes in a variety of anthropomorphic, physical, analytic, vascular and test parameters and to better characterize the factors associated with prediabetes remission.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Feasibility of an intensive multidisciplinary program based on lifestyle changes in coronary heart disease patients recently diagnosed with prediabetes that are referred to the Centre EPIC. [at 3 months after the start of the intervention]
Total recruitment, recruitment rate, compliance and completion rate at 3 months after the start of the intervention
- Feasibility of an intensive multidisciplinary program based on lifestyle changes in coronary heart disease patients recently diagnosed with prediabetes that are referred to the Centre EPIC. [at 6 months after the start of the intervention]
Total recruitment, recruitment rate, compliance and completion rate at 6 months after the start of the intervention
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Proportion of prediabetic participants (HbA1c ≥ 5.7% to 6.4% at the start of the program) in complete remission of prediabetes. [at 3 and 6 months of the start of the intervention]
Remission of prediabetes will be defined by the following 3 criteria: An HbA1c < 5.7% at 3 months of intervention (Metabolic criteria). Which is maintained at 6 months (Duration criteria). Without the use of glucose-lowering agents (pharmacological criteria). Proportion of prediabetic patients that reach an HbA1c < 5.7% at 6 months of intervention will also be studied
- Evolution of the HOMA-IR between the start of the program, the end of intervention (3 months) and the follow-up visit (6 months). [at 3 and 6 months of the start of the intervention]
HOMA-IR is a marker of insulin resistance
