Long-Term Effects of Transtheoretical Model-Based Lifestyle Intervention on Self-efficacy and Self-management in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes - Randomised Controlled Trial.

Background: Self-efficacy and self-management are fundamental factors for successful treatment of type 2 diabetes, but long-term studies are rare. The aim of the present study is to investigate whether the effects achieved in the context of a lifestyle intervention based on the transtheoretical model can be maintained by the patients in the long term.

Method: A two-arm randomised controlled trial examined whether long-term effects of self-efficacy, self-management, and Hb can be achieved by a lifestyle intervention of 12 months and persisted beyond the intervention.

Purpose: Diabetes is considered one of the fastest growing diseases worldwide. Especially in the treatment of type 2 diabetes, lifestyle interventions have proven to be effective. However, long-term studies in real-world contexts are rare, which is why further research is needed.

Telemedicine-Assisted Self-Management Program for Type 2 Diabetes Patients.

Lifestyle interventions with personalized self-management programs have shown benefits for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), a devastating highly prevalent disease worldwide. Despite advances in drug therapy and nonpharmacological strategies achieved in the past recent years, self-management programs to be implemented in everyday life are needed. The aim of the present prospective study was to evaluate the effects, in terms of glycated hemoglobin (HbA) values and self-management behavior, of a telemedicine-assisted self-management program offered to T2DM patients by a large private health insurance company.
