Adherence
An online multidisciplinary collaborative weight loss management program significantly improves glycemic control (HbA1c, fasting, and postprandial blood glucose) and self-management abilities in obese or overweight patients with type 2 diabetes compared to conventional outpatient management.
If you have type 2 diabetes and are overweight, an online program with a dedicated team (doctor, dietitian, exercise coach, psychologist) can help you manage your blood sugar and weight better than standard clinic visits. You will need to use a smartphone app to log your food, exercise, and body measurements daily, and participate in online courses. The program provides regular feedback and support from experts to help you stay on track. This approach has been shown to significantly lower HbA1c and improve your ability to manage your health.
The online multidisciplinary weight loss management programme improved blood glucose in obese or overweight patients living with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Self-management ability parameters (including diet control, foot care and total score) and quality of life were improved in the online group compared with the conventional group.
