Impact of SMS Reminder on Weight Loss, as Part of a Health Pathway in Patients With Prediabetes (PREDIABCOACH)

France, Reunion300 participantsStarted 2025-01-22

Plain-language summary

The goal of this interventionnal study is to demonstrate that sending SMS messages with advice on physical activity or nutrition, in addition to a program of hygienic-dietary management, significantly increases weight loss in subjects with prediabetes in La Réunion. Indeed, type 2 diabetes is a priority health problem on Reunion Island: 10% of the population are treated for type 2 diabetes, twice as many as in France. International studies have demonstrated the value of modifying dietary and physical activity habits to reduce the risk of transition to diabetes in patients with prediabetes Against this backdrop, a Regional Nutrition Diabetes Program (PRND) 2020-2023 was launched by Réunion's Regional Health Agency (ARS) in 2020. Studies have also demonstrated the effectiveness of using SMS to encourage and support weight loss interventions. So, the main question it aims to answer are: • Does the addition of 72 SMS of physical activity and nutriton advice, to the "FindRisc Péi-CPTS" program, significantly increase weight loss by 3% after 6 months of starting the program. FindRiscPei-CPTS program includes sports sessions, dietary consultations and therapeutic education. The 300 participants will be randomized into two arms * 150 participants will take part in the FindRiscPei-CPTS program + receive SMS messages * 150 participants will only take part in the FindRiscPei-CPTS program (no SMS) All participants will follow procedures below: * Inclusion: assessment of weight and waist circumference, Lifestyle Questionnaire and Socio-Efficacy Questionnaire. * Participation in Findrisk program for 3 to 9 months (+ SMS for experimental group) * 3 follow-up visits: 3 months, 6 months and 9 months after starting the program: weight and waist measurement, self-efficacy questionnaire.

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
