Adherence
A 36-month complex lifestyle intervention combining digital tools, face-to-face group education, and individual consultations significantly reduces the incidence of type 2 diabetes in adults with prediabetes compared to usual care.
If you have prediabetes, a structured program combining regular group education, personal coaching, and digital tracking over 3 years is designed to help you lose weight, eat healthier, and exercise more to prevent diabetes. This approach is more comprehensive than digital tools alone.
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of digital and complex lifestyle intervention in reducing the incidence of T2DM among adults with increased risk of T2DM, compared to usual care over a 36-month period.
Why this rating
This is a study protocol for a cluster randomized controlled trial; results are not yet available, so evidence of efficacy is currently theoretical based on the design.
