5. Study Description

Brief Summary
A multicentred, randomized, open study to evaluate the efficacy of metformin in preventing Diabetes.
Detailed Description
The increasing prevalence of prediabetes had been documented in the recent national surveillance in China. Prediabetes is an important risk factor for developing overt Diabetes and macro/micro vascular diseases. Pharmaceutical medications such as metformin had been proved effective in preventing Diabetes. Local studies are in need to guide the clinicians in their daily practice to prevent Diabetes in China. Therefore, China Diabetes Prevention Program(China DPP)is designed and conducted to compare the efficacy of metformin combined with lifestyle intervention versus lifestyle intervention alone in preventing Diabetes.

Intervention Description
Standard lifestyle advice will be united for all subjects by providing special booklet. All participants will receive 20-30 minutes individual or group session with assigned nurse addressing the harm of prediabetes and the importance of a healthy lifestyle for preventing Diabetes. The amount of energy intake of the participants will be calculated based on the ideal body weight and physical activity levels. The sample recipe will be explained by the nurse and provided in the diet instruction. Moderate intensity physical activity (150 minutes per week) is recommended. Smoking cessation is encouraged for the smoker. Excessive alcohol intake is encouraged to avoid.
