Diabetes Management: Intensive Lifestyle Interventions For Patients With Type 2 Diabetes
The Community Preventive Services Task Force (CPSTF) recommends intensive lifestyle interventions for patients with type 2 diabetes to improve glycemic control and reduce risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Intervention Intensive lifestyle interventions provide ongoing counseling, coaching, or individualized guidance to patients with type 2 diabetes to help them change their diet, level of physical activity, or both. Patients must interact with program staff multiple times for a period of six months or longer. Dietary components may include tailored advice, and physical activity components may include structured and personalized guidance or supervised exercise training. Programs may have weight loss goals or include additional components related to weight loss or maintenance. The largest and longest trial to date provided intensive individual and group counseling and extended interpersonal support for dietary changes, regular physical activity, and weight management. Read the full CPSTF Finding and Rationale Statement [PDF - 603 kB] for details including implementation issues, possible added benefits, potential harms, and evidence gaps. This expedited finding was based on the following published systematic review: Huang XL, Pan JH, Chen D, Chen J, Hu TT.

Moreover, the authors suggest that the lower HbA1c levels at entry to the study may have been responsible for the modest reduction in HbA1c and that physical activity is of lesser importance compared with different dietary components in the care of patients with type 2 diabetes.

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a chronic metabolic disorder that is predominately associated with lifestyle changes including reduced physical activity, poor nutrition and obesity. Despite major medical advances in the treatment of T2D, its prevalence is still increasing at an alarming rate. Accordingly, better management and prevention strategies are urgently needed to prevent the development and progression of this disease. In the last decade there have been considerable efforts to improve public health through alternative research paradigms. Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) is one such process by which researchers form an equal and transparent partnership with the community with the final goal of creating empowerment and societal change to facilitate action and provide solutions to promote health and well-being. One CBPR program, the Kahnawake Schools Diabetes Prevention Project (KSDPP), was initiated to promote increased physical activity and healthier eating habits among school children based on the Mohawks Living in Balance philosophy. Utilizing CBPR principles, KSDPP engaged researchers and the community in all stages of the research processes. This project was c Continue reading >>

Lifestyle Interventions Can Reduce Type 2 Diabetes Risk
Lifestyle Interventions Can Reduce Type 2 Diabetes Risk Comprehensive lifestyle interventions may reduce the risk for type 2 diabetes in patients who are at high risk for the disease, but the interventions do not appear to reduce all-cause mortality in patients with the disease, according to a systematic literature review. Elizabeth Sumamo Schellenberg, BSc, MPH, and colleagues from the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada, present their findings in an article published in the October 15 issue of the Annals of Internal Medicine. "Many systematic reviews have reported a benefit with exercise and dietary interventions in diabetes prevention," the authors write. "However, we are not aware of any reviews that assessed the effect of multifaceted lifestyle interventions on clinically oriented outcomes across a spectrum of metabolic risk factors and abnormal glucose. Therefore, Dr. Schellenberg and colleagues searched 5 electronic databases (MEDLINE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, CINAHL, EMBASE, and SCOPUS) to identify randomized controlled trials that evaluated the effects of multifaceted interventions (a exercise component, a diet component, and a third component) on the clinical outcomes of adult patients with type 2 diabetes or who were at high risk for the disease. They identified 9 studies of high-risk patients and 11 studies of patients with type 2 diabetes. For studies of high-risk patients, the duration of the intervention ranged from 6 to 72 months compared with 6 to 93 months for the studies of patients with type 2 diabetes. Among high-risk patients, the lifestyle intervention was associated with a reduced risk for type 2 diabetes (risk ratio [RR], 0.35; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.14 - 0.85), and the efficacy of the intervention was main Continue reading >>

Strategies for preventing type 2 diabetes: an update for clinicians Kaivan Khavandi, Halima Amer, [...], and Jack Brownrigg Diabetes is a major and growing public health challenge which threatens to overwhelm medical services in the future. Type 2 diabetes confers significant morbidity and mortality, most notably with target organ damage to the eyes, kidneys, nerves and heart. The magnitude of cardiovascular risk associated with diabetes is best illustrated by its position as a coronary heart disease risk equivalent. Complications related to neuropathy are also vast, often working in concert with vascular abnormalities and resulting in serious clinical consequences such as foot ulceration. Increased understanding of the natural history of this disorder has generated the potential to intervene and halt pathological progression before overt disease ensues, after which point management becomes increasingly challenging. The concept of prediabetes as a formal diagnosis has begun to be translated from the research setting to clinical practice, but with continually updated guidelines, varied nomenclature, emerging pharmacotherapies and an ever-changing evidence base, clinicians may be left uncertain of best practice in identifying and managing patients at the prediabetic stage. This review aims to summarize the epidemiolo Continue reading >>

Lifestyle Interventions For Type 2 Diabetes. Relevance For Clinical Practice.
Lifestyle interventions for type 2 diabetes. Relevance for clinical practice. Centre for Studies in Family Medicine, University of Western Ontario, London. This article has been cited by other articles in PMC. OBJECTIVE: To review evidence from literature on type 2 diabetes pertinent to physical activity and diet and lifestyle modification, and to determine the relevance of this evidence to clinical practice. QUALITY OF EVIDENCE: Direct (level I) evidence supports interventions for physical activity and diet modification for primary prevention and management of type 2 diabetes. Few studies examine the effectiveness of primary health care providers' making such interventions. MAIN MESSAGE: Family physicians have an important role in identifying people at risk of developing type 2 diabetes and managing those diagnosed with the disease, yet they struggle to deliver practice-based interventions that promote sustainable behaviour change among their patients. CONCLUSION: It is evident that supporting patients to make changes in their physical activity and dietary habits can prevent onset of type 2 diabetes. Translating this finding into effective recommendations for clinical practice requires further effort and evaluation. The Full Text of this article is available as a PDF (202K).

Nutrition interventions for the prevention of type 2 diabetes: Conference on Multidisciplinary approaches to nutritional problems Symposium on Diabetes and health MRC Sports Science Institute and Department of Human Biology Diabetes mellitus is escalating globally and it is predicted that 200 million individuals worldwide will have diabetes by 2010 and 300 million by 2025. However, there is compelling evidence from many studies that for subjects with impaired fasting glucose or impaired glucose tolerance the presentation of type 2 diabetes can be delayed by lifestyle modification. The aim of the present review is to present a summary of lifestyle modification interventions that have included a dietary component in their overall diabetes prevention programme.

You may notice problems with the display of certain parts of an article in other eReaders. Generating an ePub file may take a long time, please be patient. Long-Term Benefits From Lifestyle Interventions for Type 2 Diabetes Prevention Jaakko Tuomilehto, MD, MA, PHD, Peter Schwarz, MD, and Jaana Lindstrm, PHD The potential to prevent type 2 diabetes in high-risk individuals by lifestyle intervention was established in several clinical trials. These studies had a strong focus on increased physical activity and dietary modification as well as weight reduction among overweight participants. The key issue seems to be a comprehensive approach to correct several risk factors simultaneously. Furthermore, long-term follow-up studies of lifestyle interventions lasting for a limited time period seem to have a long-lasting carry-over effect on risk factors and diabetes incidence ( Table 1 ). Long-term effectiveness of diabetes prevention trials The research evidence has inspired national and local authorities and health care providers all over the world to start programs and activities to prevent type 2 diabetes and its complications. Based on the experiences from the clinical trials, as well as from the real world implementation programs, the IMAGE (Development and Implementation of a European Guideline and Training Standards for Diabetes Prevention) Study Group collated information in a systematic manner.

Lifestyle Intervention For Type 2 Diabetes Patients Trial Protocol Of The Copenhagen Type 2 Diabetes Rehabilitation Project
Lifestyle intervention for type 2 diabetes patients trial protocol of The Copenhagen Type 2 Diabetes Rehabilitation Project Vadstrup et al; licensee BioMed Central Ltd.2009 Current guidelines recommend education, physical activity and changes in diet for type 2 diabetes patients, yet the composition and organization of non-pharmacological care are still controversial. Therefore, it is very important that programmes aiming to improve non-pharmacological treatment of type 2 diabetes are developed and evaluated. The Copenhagen Type 2 Diabetes Rehabilitation Project aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a new group-based lifestyle rehabilitation programme in a Health Care Centre in primary care. The group-based diabetes rehabilitation programme consists of empowerment-based education, supervised exercise and dietary intervention. The effectiveness of this multi-disciplinary intervention is compared with conventional individual counselling in a Diabetes Outpatient Clinic and evaluated in a prospective and randomized controlled trial. During the recruitment period of 18 months 180 type 2 diabetes patients will be randomized to the intervention group and the control group. Effects on glycaemic control, quality of life, self-rated diabetes symptoms, body composition, blood pressure, lipids, insulin resistance, beta-cell function and physical fitness will be examined after 6, 12 and 24 months. The Copenhagen Type 2 Diabetes Rehabilitation Project evaluates a multi-disciplinary non-pharmacological intervention programme in a primary care setting and provides important information about how to organize non-pharmacological care for type 2 diabetes patients.

Programs | Diabetes Interventions
Health-related programs for type 2 diabetes prevention and control 1-2 Employee programs refer to activities that include active employee involvement, such as classes, seminars or competitions. Employee programs are frequently provided on-site at the workplace. Employee health surveys in the workplace provide assessment and implementation opportunities Information from employee health surveys can be used to identify the percent of employees that have received appropriately timed type 2 diabetes screening (e.g., blood glucose testing) Survey information can be used not only in obtaining baseline group data on employee health but also to educate individual employees to their needs for counseling and follow-up for specific health concerns Assessment should also include employees’ responses regarding lifestyle issues such as obesity, nutrition, and physical activity Blood glucose testing should be carried out within the health care setting because of the need for follow-up and discussion of abnormal results. Community screening outside a health care setting is not recommended Use multifaceted employee lifestyle change participation programs Obesity, nutrition, and physical activity programs in the workplace are critical elements in addressing type 2 diabetes Research suggests that the progression from prediabetes to type 2 diabetes can be prevented or delayed. In 2001, results from landmark clinical trials, including the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP), showed that sustained lifestyle changes that included modest weight loss and physical activity substantially reduced progression to type 2 diabetes among adults who were at very high risk The lifestyle intervention worked equally well for men and women and all racial/ethnic groups, and it was most effective among people Continue reading >>
