Lifestyle Interventions for Long Term Diabetes Control

Conditions studied: Type 2 Diabetes

In brief

Lifestyle interventions have been shown to reduce heart disease risk and improve blood sugar control in clinical trials. This project will investigate whether those lifestyle interventions can be implemented long-term, in usual practice settings, by using dietitian case managers to coordinate lifestyle change in cooperation with fitness instructors and primary care clinicians.
