Plain English Summary
Background and study aims
Currently in the UK 1 in 12 people are living with Type 2 diabetes, and this figure continues to rise.
Diet, maintaining a healthy weight and physical activity are the cornerstone of Type 2 diabetes treatment and can significantly reduce the need for medications and long term complications of the condition. Studies in the UK have shown that an 8 week low calorie diet consisting of 800 calories/day, which has become known as the “Newcastle Diet” can be highly effective in producing significant weight loss and normalisation of blood glucose (sugar levels). This study compares the standard daily 800 kcal low calorie diet for eight weeks to an intermittent low calorie diet which involves two 800 kcal days/week spread over 27 weeks. The aim of this study is to see if diet is more effective at helping participants lose weight and achieve better blood glucose control. This study also tests whether patients can be successfully supported with these diets remotely using a novel app/web based programme, rather than normal face to face appointments.
Who can participate?
The study is including adults diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in the last 8 years who are currently overweight or obese (BMI >27 Kg/m2.
What does the study involve?
Participants are randomly allocated to one of two low calorie diets. Participants in group one complete the standard daily low calorie diet of 800 calories/day for eight weeks. Participants in group 2 complete the intermittent low calorie diet invovling two 800 kcal days each week spread over 27 weeks. Participants from both groups are supported by healthcare progessions using a smartphone/tablet app or regular telephone calls. The 800 calorie days on both diets involve a liquid meal replacement product called Optifast. Participants have an initial appointment which includes a three hour screening and assessment to check eligibility of the study. Participants are assessed for their weight and body fat, measurements, blood tests, blood pressure, short questionnaires and pregnant. They are then randomly allocated to their group for their diet. PArticipants receive individuals exercise advice from a diabetes exercise specialist via telephone or video call for around 30-45 minutes. Participants are asked to attend follow up face to face appointments at Wythenshawe hospital at two, three, six and 12 months. The six and 12 month appointments last 1.5 hrs and will involve a repeat of the assessments and questionnaires done at your initial appointment. The two and three month appointments lasts one hour as they involve fewer tests and questionnaires. For the first three months participants are contacted at least weekly by their diabetes specialist dietitian and periodically by their diabetes specialist nurse if you are (or were before the study) on specific diabetes medications including insulin. Between three and 12 months the frequency of contact with their diabetes specialist dietitian are reduced to fortnightly and then monthly as participants settle into self-managing their diet, and their contact with the diabetes specialist nurse is monthly. Participants complete questionnaires such as the Binge Eating Scale, Audit of Diabetes Dependent Quality of Life questionnaire, weight efficacy lifestyle questionnaire, and anxiety.
What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
Patients are expected to benefit from participating in the study and to have their weight reduced. Patients may benefit from reduced mortality and morbidity associated with obesity and complications of type 2 diabetes. Participants in both arms of the study will receive individual tailored advice and support to undertake an energy restricted diet and support which are not routinely available to patients on standard care. This includes remote support from the study dietician and diabetes specialist nurse, clinical psychologist and exercise specialist . The very low energy diet drinks used in the weight loss programme are provided free of charge to the patients home during the trial.

| Scientific title | A Pilot randomised controlled trial comparing efficacy of Continuous Very Low Energy Diet (C-VLED) to Intermittent Very Low Energy Diet (I-VLED) in patients with Type 2 Diabetes |
| Study acronym | MIDDAS |
| Study hypothesis | This study will assess the efficacy of daily very low energy diets to a an intermittent very low energy diet incorporating high-frequency remote follow-up with a novel app for achieving significant weight loss (1- 2 stone or more) and blood sugar control amongst patients with type 2 diabetes. The findings in this trial will inform the feasibility of a large scale trial in the UK comparing the two different diets. The primary objectives of this trial are: 1. To assess enrolment rate to a randomized trial of continuous (daily) very low energy diet to an intermittent very low energy diet amongst patients with type 2 diabetes 2. To assess the proportion of participants in both groups who successfully lose and maintain >15% weight loss at 12 months using an intention to treat analysis 3. To assess the proportion of participants in both groups who achieve good blood sugar control defined as an HbA1c of <48 mmol/mol at 12 months using an using an intention to treat analysis |

| Intervention | Participants are randomly allocated to one of two low calorie diets. Participants in group one complete the standard daily low calorie diet of 800 calories/day for eight weeks. Participants in group 2 complete the intermittent low calorie diet invovling two 800 kcal days each week spread over 27 weeks. Participants from both groups are supported by healthcare progessions using a smartphone/tablet app or regular telephone calls. The 800 calorie days on both diets involve a liquid meal replacement product called Optifast. The trial intervention is delivered through a combination of the following programmes: 1. Dietary Programmes 2. Dietary support by Diabetes Dietitian 3. Clinical Support by Diabetes Specialist Nurse mainly for participants who are: 3.1. Currently prescribed insulin, sulphonyureas, gliptin, SGLT2 or GLP1 3.2. Previously prescribed insulin, sulphonyureas, gliptin, SGLT2 or GLP1 before commencing the study 3.3. Patients with abnormal glucose results (>7 mmol fasting and > 11 mmol non-fasting) during the study 4. Exercise therapy 5. Psychological Support 6. Clinical Support through MDT and scheduled visits and remote monitoring via Milestones DM2 app Participants have an initial appointment which includes a three hour screening and assessment to check eligibility of the study.
