Detailed Description:
The purpose of this study is to conduct a randomized, controlled trial in people with obesity and type 2 diabetes to determine the therapeutic effects of intensive lifestyle therapy conducted at the worksite compared to standard care on: i) the major factors involved in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes (insulin sensitivity, β-cell function and the metabolic response to glucose ingestion), ii) body composition; iii) physical function (cardiorespiratory fitness and muscle strength); iv) and the potential cellular mechanisms that can affect insulin action in muscle and adipose tissue (fat).
