Lifestyle Management of CKD in Obese Diabetic Patients

Summary

The purpose of this randomized clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy of 3 different technology-supported approaches to engaging 300 individuals with diabetes and concurrent chronic kidney disease in weight loss, dietary sodium restriction, and dietary restriction of inorganic phosphates when compared to usual care. Participants will be randomized to 1 of 4 groups, Usual Care (UC), Social Cognitive Theory-based Group Counseling (SCT), Mobile self-monitoring with tailored feedback and counseling (MONITORING), or a combination of SCT plus MONITORING conditions (COMBINED). Investigators will evaluate the intervention arms primarily in terms of weight reduction, urinary sodium excretion, and serum phosphorus and, secondarily in terms of physical activity, blood pressure, fasting lipids, medication requirements, and pulse wave velocity. Measurements will occur at baseline, 6, and 12 months. The statistical modeling of the baseline, 6 mos and 12 mos outcome variables will be based on logistic generalized linear mixed models (for binary outcomes) linear mixed models (for continuous outcomes), and random effects multinomial models (for outcomes with more than 2 levels, such as changes in medication management). In separate analyses of the intervention arm only, investigators will model self-monitoring adherence and examine possible associations between self-monitoring adherence and outcomes. The mediating effect of self-efficacy on the primary outcomes will be evaluated using structural equation models.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Social Cognitive Theory

focuses on the role played by self-referent thought in the maintenance of behavior change. Self- efficacy (e.g., the participant's confidence in their ability to engage in healthier behavior) is derived from four major sources of information: mastery experiences, social modeling, verbal persuasion, and physiological states

OTHER

Monitoring

Technology-based self-monitoring reduces information processing demands by making relevant nutritional information readily available. Technology-based self-monitoring also can be used by interventionists to reduce information processing burden by using it for targeted counseling. For example, simultaneous consideration of all pertinent dietary recommendations would likely be overwhelming for an obese person with diabetes and CKD. By using an electronic log accessible to the interventionist, such a person could initially focus on calorie restrictions, with the interventionist stepping-in when problematic behaviors become evident.
