Baseline Characteristics of the Vitamin D and Type 2 Diabetes (D2d) Study—A Contemporary Prediabetes Cohort

Abstract

Objective: Describe baseline characteristics of the NIH/ADA-supported D2d study, the first diabetes prevention trial in the U.S. to apply current ADA diagnostic glycemia criteria. Research Design and Methods: Multicenter (22 sites), randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, primary prevention trial testing efficacy of oral daily 4000 IU cholecalciferol (D3) compared to placebo on incident diabetes in adults at high risk. Eligible participants met at least 2-of-3 2010 ADA glycemic criteria for prediabetes: fasting plasma glucose (FPG) 100-125 mg/dL, 2-hour glucose post-75g oral glucose load (2hPG) 140-199 mg/dL, and/or hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) 5.7-6.4%. Results: 2423 participants (45% women, 33% non-white) were randomized. Mean (±SD) age was 59 (±9.9) years, and BMI was 32 (±4.5) kg/m2. Thirty-five percent met 3 prediabetes criteria, 49% met FPG/HbA1c criteria only, 9.5% met 2hPG/FPG criteria only, and 6.3% met 2hPG/HbA1c criteria only. Black participants had higher HbA1c and lower FPG concentration than white, Asian, and other races (P<0.01); 2hPG concentration did not differ by race (Table). The D2d cohort has lower 2hPG but similar HbA1c and FPG concentrations than previous prediabetes cohorts. Conclusions: D2d will establish the efficacy and safety of vitamin D supplementation for diabetes prevention and inform on the natural history of prediabetes per contemporary ADA criteria.
