The study aims to assess the impact of the P4 approach on established markers of glucose metabolism in type 2 diabetics.
Secondary objectives are examination of the changes in physical characteristics, quality of life and the indices for beta cell function, hepatic insulin resistance and muscle insulin resistance .

Type 2 Diabetes | Behavioral: Intervention A: Diet Behavioral: Intervention B: Exercise Behavioral: Intervention C: Diet and Exercise | Not Applicable |
This study will be a proof-of-principle exploratory study. Subjects in the P4 program will receive a personalized diagnosis and treatment. After investigation of the status of the different organs involved in diabetes (liver, muscle, pancreas), subjects in the P4 group are divided into 3 subgroups. Each subgroup receives a personalized lifestyle advice. This lifestyle advice may comprise different interventions, i.e. very low calorie diet, low calorie diet, strength training, endurance training. Dependent on the type of intervention, these interventions will be supervised by a dietitian or physiotherapist.
All subjects will visit a central study center 5 times during the study and 3 times during follow-up. During these visits physical measures will be taken and data will be collected by the general practitioner assistant.
After the three month intervention period the subjects will return to usual care via the general practitioner.

No Intervention: Control - Historical data
Historical data from the GPs Information System from 60 newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes patients in the last five years will be used as control.
|
- Change in HbA1c levels [ Time Frame: In-study at week 0 (baseline) and 13 (end of study); follow-up after 6, 12 and 24 months ]Changes in primary outcome measures will be determined by using a mixed model
- Change in 2h glucose levels [ Time Frame: In-study at week 0 (baseline) and 13; ]2h glucose will be measured after Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT). Changes in primary outcome measures will be determined by using a mixed model
- Change in fasting blood glucose levels [ Time Frame: In-study at week 0 (baseline) and 13 (end of study); follow-up after 6, 12 and 24 months ]After 8 hour fasting. Changes in primary outcome measures will be determined by using a mixed model.
- percentage of participants that reach normoglycemia [ Time Frame: end of study (after 13 weeks) ]normoglycemia is determined by fasting blood glucose level of less than 6.1 mmol/L
- body weight [ Time Frame: screening; in-study at week 0, 4, 8 and 13; during follow up after 6, 12 and 24 months ]measured by the general practitioner assistant

- waist circumference [ Time Frame: screening; in-study at week 0, 4, 8 and 13; during follow up after 6, 12 and 24 months ]measured by general practitioner assistant
- body fat percentage [ Time Frame: screening; in-study at week 0, 4, 8 and 13; during follow up after 6, 12 and 24 months ]measured by general practitioner assistant
- change indices for muscle insulin resistance [ Time Frame: screening; in-study at week 0 and 13; ]
at week 0 and 13 the indices will be calculated from Oral glucose tolerance test data.
Blood will be collected at the blood collection centre in Hillegom
- health behaviour change [ Time Frame: in-study at week 0, 13; during follow-up at 6, 12 and 24 months ]established by comparing baseline values with end of study values for food intake and physical activity as measured by a Lifestyle-questionnaire
- change in vitality as assessed with a vitality questionnaire (Vita-16) [ Time Frame: in-study at week 0, 13; during follow-up at 6, 12 and 24 months ]
- change in subjective quality of life as assessed with RAND-36 questionnaire [ Time Frame: in-study at week 0, 13; during follow-up at 6, 12 and 24 months ]
- change in indices for beta cell function [ Time Frame: screening; in-study at week 0 and 13; ]
at week 0 and 13 the indices will be calculated from Oral glucose tolerance test data.
Blood will be collected at the blood collection centre in Hillegom
- change in indices for hepatic insulin resistance [ Time Frame: screening; in-study at week 0 and 13; ]
at week 0 and 13 the indices will be calculated from Oral glucose tolerance test data.
