Summary

Type 2 diabetes is a chronic condition whose prevalence is increasing globally. Kidney disease is a key complication of diabetes and is among the most common cause of end-stage renal disease, requiring renal replacement therapy. It has been shown that the trajectory of renal function (estimated glomerular filtration rate - eGFR) is of great prognostic value for renal and cardiovascular endpoints in diabetic patients. However the clinical use of this prognostic marker is not associated to date with a clear therapeutic intervention, effective in patients with type 2 diabetes identified with this biomarker. In France, type 2 diabetes patients have twice less physical activity than non-diabetic persons. Recently, it has been published that physical activity was associated with an improvement of renal risk in patients with type 2 diabetes, recruited from the LOOK-AHEAD study. It was demonstrated that high-intensity physical activity (HIPA) can have several additional advantages over moderate-intensity, on blood pressure improvement, and cardiovascular risk profile modification. In addition, this procedure was shown to be safe in patients with high cardiovascular risk. We plan to perform a randomized intervention comparing a structured program of high-intensity physical activity (HIPA) vs standard recommendations for physical activity on renal function decline (primary outcome) and mortality, renal and cardiovascular endpoints, patients' safety and quality of life (secondary outcomes). Study participants will be patients with established type 2 diabetes and a high renal risk, identified by rapid renal function decline, defined as a eGFR slope below -5ml/min per 1.73 m2/yr. The intervention is planned to last for 2 years.

This includes a normal exercise test with or without anti-ischemic drugs, performed in the preceding 6 months or short before randomization. A certificate of no contre-indication for PA is to be delivered prior to randomization. * With at least 3 available creatinine measurements in the 6 to 24 preceding months showing a rapid renal function decline defined as an eGFR slope below -5 ml/min/yr * Estimated GFR equal to or higher than 30 ml/min/1.73m², defined by the CKD-EPI formula, at inclusion visit Non inclusion * Age strictly lower than 45 years * Indication for cardiovascular rehabilitation (notably patient with ischemic heart disease or coronary revascularisation) * Treatment with systemic NSAIDs or corticosteroids * Lower limb amputation (above trans-metacarpal) * Active proliferative retinopathy (risk of bleeding in case of effort) * Contra-indication for the participation to PA: * Severe non-operated valvulopathy * Uncontrolled hypertension \> 180/110 mmHg * Thrombus in the left ventricular cavity * Unstable coronaropathy, according to physician * NYHA stage IV heart failure * Any condition that would jeopardize patient's safety or would affect the conduct of the study * Pregnant or breast-feeding women or women of child-bearing potential without effective contraception during the study * Any situation associated with unreliable cystatin-C determinations, according to patient medical history: HIV positivity, melanoma and thyroid dysfunction * Simultaneous participation to any interventional study able to interfere with the current study endpoints * Patients not registered to the social security * Protected adults (under guardianship and trusteeship) * Subject unable to express their consent (due to intellectual/mental incapacity) III- Intervention HIPA group Twice weekly physical activity session in a dedicated structure, supervised by a graduated coach, alternating sessions of strengthening and intermittent HIPA, allowing a mixed stimulation of neuro-muscular and cardiovascular systems, and regular (every 3 months) adjustment of the intensity of the program. Control group Counseling of physical activity according to recommendations from the working group on Physical Activity of the SFD (French Language Diabetes Society) supported by patient's oriented leaflet. IV- Handling with the COVID-19 pandemics The COVID-19 pandemics has modified the shape of the study with * difficulties to comply with the study plan, including recruitment pace. Visits can be postponed if required but investigators are encouraged to follow the initial plan. The time between randomization and V3 (1 month) and V4 (3 months) can sometimes be too short and it is acceptable to perform this visit by phone or even to cancel it. * difficulties to comply with physical activity (PA) plan. As PA facilities have been locked down in the pandemics context, the sports committee of the ACTIDIANE study has agreed to move attendances to the gym to some remote PA sessions, via websession or if not possible, via telephone coaching sessions.
