Results reveal no significant difference between the groups , with respect to BMI , while PA and DIET yielded a greater reduction in HbA1c .
Significant reduction in both systolic and diastolic pressures in the DIET group , and diastolic pressure in the PA group , was observed .
HDL-c in the DIET group was significantly higher than the control group , while no change in LDL-c levels , was seen in all three intervention subtypes .
There was no difference between the EDU vs. the control group in terms of HbA1c , blood pressure or HDL-c and LDL-c .
CONCLUSION DIET intervention showed an improvement in HbA1c , systolic/diastolic blood pressure and HDL-c , with an exception of LDL-c and BMI , suggesting that nutritional intervention had a significant impact on the quality of life by reducing the cardiovascular risk in type 2 diabetes patients
BACKGROUND The current meta- analysis evaluated the outcomes of various lifestyle interventions , including diet modifications ( DIET ) , physical activity ( PA ) , and patient education ( EDU ) in reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease in patients with type 2 diabetes .
Effectiveness of PRECEDE model for health education on changes and level of control of HbA1c, blood pressure, lipids, and body mass index in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus
Background Individual health education is considered to be essential in the overall care of patients with type 2 diabetes ( DM2 ) , although there is some uncertainty regarding its metabolic control benefits . There have been very few r and omized studies on the effects of individual education on normal care in DM2 patients with a control group , and none of these have assessed the long-term results . Therefore , this study aims to use this design to assess the effectiveness of the PRECEDE ( Predisposing , Reinforcing , Enabling , Causes in Educational Diagnosis , and Evaluation ) education model in the metabolic control and the reduction of cardiovascular risk factors , in patients with type 2 diabetes . Methods An open community effectiveness study was carried out in 8 urban community health centers in the North-East Madrid Urban Area ( Spain ) . Six hundred patients with DM2 were r and omized in two groups : PRECEDE or conventional model for health promotion education . The main outcome measures were glycated hemoglobin A1c , body mass index ( BMI ) , blood pressure , lipids and control criteria during the 2-year follow-up period . Results Glycated hemoglobin A1c and systolic blood pressure ( SBP ) levels decreased significantly in the PRECEDE group ( multivariate analysis of covariance , with baseline glycated hemoglobin A1c , SBP , and variables showing statistically significant differences between groups at baseline visits ) . The decrease levels in diastolic blood pressure ( DBP ) , triglycerides and LDL cholesterol were nonsignificant . PRECEDE increased compliance in all control criteria , except for LDL cholesterol . BMI did not change during the study in either of the two models analyzed . Conclusions PRECEDE health education model is a useful method in the overall treatment in patients with type 2 diabetes , which contributes to decrease glycated hemoglobin A1c and SBP levels and increase the compliance in all the control criteria , except for LDL cholesterol .
