Nurses only and multidisciplinary teams were the most frequent professionals to provide education , and most educational interventions were delivered postdischarge .
Psychoeducational interventions were generally effective at reducing smoking and admissions for patients with ACS .
Culturally appropriate health education , self-management educational interventions , group medical visits and psychoeducational interventions were generally effective for patients with T2DM .
Results indicate that there is a body of current evidence about the efficacy of health education , its content and delivery methods for patients with ACS or T2DM .
OBJECTIVES This umbrella review aim ed to identify the current evidence on health education-related interventions for patients with acute coronary syndrome ( ACS ) or type two diabetes mellitus ( T2DM ) ; identify the educational content , delivery methods , intensity , duration and setting required .
The purpose was to provide recommendations for educational interventions for high-risk patients with both ACS and T2DM .
One-year outcome of a combination of weight loss therapies for subjects with type 2 diabetes: a randomized trial.
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of a combination weight loss program using intermittent low-calorie diets , energy-controlled meal replacement products , and sibutramine on weight loss , diabetes control , and cardiovascular risk factors in overweight or obese subjects with type 2 diabetes . RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Overweight or obese individuals with type 2 diabetes treated with diet or oral medication were r and omly assigned to either a st and ard therapy or combination therapy group . Both groups received a st and ardized program to facilitate weight loss . The combination therapy group also received 10 - 15 mg sibutramine daily , low-calorie diets using meal replacement products for 1 week every 2 months , and between low-calorie diet weeks , once daily use of meal replacement product and snack bars to replace one usual meal and snack . Primary outcome measures were changes in body weight , glycemic control , plasma lipids , blood pressure , pulse , and body composition at 1 year . RESULTS At 1 year , combination therapy , compared with st and ard therapy , result ed in significantly more weight loss ( -7.3 + /- 1.3 kg vs. -0.8 + /- 0.9 kg , P < 0.001 ) and reduction in HbA(1c ) ( -0.6 + /- 0.3 vs. 0.0 + /- 0.2 % , P = 0.05 ) . Combination therapy result ed in reduced requirement for diabetes medications and decreased fat mass and lean body mass . A 5-kg decrease in weight at 1 year was associated with a decrease of 0.4 % in HbA(1c ) ( P = 0.006 ) . Changes in fasting glucose , lipids , pulse , and blood pressure did not differ between groups . CONCLUSIONS This combination weight loss  program result ed in greater weight loss and improved diabetes control compared with a st and ard weight loss program in overweight or obese subjects with type 2 diabetes
