Conclusions The available evidence suggests that diabetes self-management education can reduce all-cause mortality risk in type 2 diabetes patients .
Background Diabetes self-management education is an essential part of diabetes care , but its impact on all-cause mortality risk of type 2 diabetes patients is unclear .
A systematic review and meta- analysis aim ing to eluci date the impact of diabetes self-management education on all-cause mortality risk of type 2 diabetes patients was performed .
Effects of a cognitive behavioural treatment in patients with type 2 diabetes when added to managed care; a randomised controlled trial
Effects of a cognitive behavioural treatment ( CBT ) in type 2 diabetes patients were studied in a r and omised controlled trial . Patients were recruited from a diabetes care system ( DCS ) . The intervention group ( n = 76 )  received managed care from the DCS and CBT .  The control group ( n = 78 )  received managed care only .  Effects on risk of developing coronary heart disease ( CHD ) , clinical characteristics , lifestyle , determinants of behaviour change , quality of life , and depression were assessed after 6 and 12 months . The intervention did not result in a significant reduction of CHD risk ( difference between intervention and control group was −0.32 % ( 95 % CI : −2.27 ; 1.63 ) . The amount of heavy physical activity increased significantly in the intervention group at 6 months [ intervention versus control group was 20.14 min/day ( 95 % CI : 4.6 ; 35.70 ) ] . Quality of life and level of depression improved as well . All effects disappeared after 6 months . No effects were found on clinical characteristics
