IHS conducts diabetes lifestyle intervention W eight loss th ro u g h a healthy diet and increased exercise can prevent or de lay th e o n set o f diabetes among at-risk American In dians. These are the results o f a re c e n t d e m o n s tra tio n project sponsored by the In dian Health Service. The dem onstration was the first large-scale national evaluation o f the effective ness o f lifestyle interv en tions on diabetes incidence in diverse American Indian communities. This p roject was spon sored by the IH S Special Diabetes Program for Indi ans (SDPI).

T he N IH trial show ed that people at high risk for diabetes can dramatically re duce their risk o f develop ing type 2 diabetes through modest exercise and dietary changes. The IHS D iabetes P re vention Program was imple m en ted am ong 36 h ealth care program s serving 80 American Indian and Alaska Native tribes. The health care programs were located in rural, reser vation, and urban settings, and represented comm uni ties with a wide range o f eco nomic and sociocultural di versity. . The SDPI was established lished to address the epi dem ic o f diabetes am ong American Indians and Alaska Natives, who have the high est rates o f type, 2 diabetes in the United States. A bout 2,500 participants w ith pre-diabetes were re cruited for the lifestyle inter vention, which began in Janu ary 2006. The goal was to achieve weight loss o f 7 percent of initial body weight. To help them reach this goal, partici pants were offered a 16-ses- sio n lifestyle curriculum , adapted from the N IH clini cal trial, which consisted of diet, exercise, and behavior modification. Results showed that the diabetes incidence rate (new cases o f diabetes) in the IHS dem onstration project was similar to that o f the lifestyle in terv en tion group in the by Congress in 1997 to fund diabetes prevention and treat- original N IH clinical trial (4 percent vs. 4.8 percent per . m ent services in IHS, tribal, and urban Indian health pro grams. The program was estab- year) and lower than that o f the American Indians in the N IH placebo group (11 per cent per year). In. addition to reductions in diabetes incidence rates, significant improvements in weight (4.4 percent weight loss immediately after the in tervention), blood pressure, and lipid levels w ere o b served immediately after the in terv en tio n and annually thereafter for 3 years. “T hese results d em o n strate that the translation o f evidence-based diabetes pre vention activities is feasible in diverse tribal com m uni ties,” said D r. Y vette Roubideaux, acting director o f the IHS. T he SD PI intervention was' not a randomized clini cal trial; tribal consultatiori precluded a comparison or placebo group. Therefore, caution is war ranted in comparing the re sult to the original N IH clini cal trial. N onetheless, the SDPI experience has added im portant inform ation to help chart future directions for diabetes prevention ac tivities among communities served by the IHS.
