Introduction Diabetes is a serious health condition that could potentially lead to heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, and many other complications, if left uncontrolled. Almost all patients that develop diabetes type 2 have prediabetes, a condition where blood glucose levels are higher than normal, but not high enough to be diagnosed with diabetes1. The prevalence of diabetes has increased from 25.8 million in 2010 to 29.1 million in 2012 while about 86 million Americans have prediabetes2. In the Arizona …show more content…
Studies used a variety of outcome measures outcomes to assess improvement from diabetic state at time of enrollment including BMI, random blood glucose level, HbA1c, weight, and blood pressure changes. All studies noticed that, with patient adherence to the program, there was significant weight reduction and improvement of glucose impairment. It was noted that both coach-led and self-directed groups achieved similar weight loss results at the end of the study. It was also noted that group focused vs individual focused intervention had similar outcomes. All articles stated that the lifestyle interventions offered were shown to be successful in reducing the development of diabetes. Studies demonstrate that these programs offer a highly promising vehicle for delivering an adaptation of DPP lifestyle interventions. Established behavioral and lifestyle modifications along with established collaborative partnership have proven to be successful to implementation of the …show more content…
