Lifestyle interventions for improving health and health behaviours in women with type 2 diabetes: A systematic review of the literature 2011–2017

Abstract: The development and maintenance of healthy lifestyle behaviours are among the most promising strategies for reducing complications and premature death among women living with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, despite the potential benefits of these interventions, they have had varying success and the sustained uptake of the recommended lifestyle modifications is limited. This paper reviews research on the impact of lifestyle interventions aimed at improving health and health behaviours in women with T2… Show more

“…Unlike many studies performed with disease‐specific samples, this was a community‐based study, and it was conducted with community‐dwelling women without any co‐morbidity using both national and global measurement tools (Neupane et al, ; Sand‐Jecklin et al, ; Seib et al, ; Taggart et al, ). Another strength of the intervention was that the education content targeted increasing health literacy and its applicability in the community health care services.…”

“…3,4 Oral hypoglycaemic medications are the mainstay therapy for type 2 diabetes in conjunction with diet and exercise modifications. [5][6][7] However, adherence to these medications continues to be sub-optimal, so health services are concerned with finding ways to improving patient adherence. [8][9][10] Abnormally high levels of HbA1c (haemoglobin A1c) are a marker for hyperglycaemia.…”

“…In this respect, adherence to a healthy diet has been recognized as the first step [10, 11] and the most complicated dimension of diabetes management [12] which can consequently lead to stable improvement in the levels of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) [13] and control of blood sugar in patients [14, 15]. In spite of much progress within diabetes management, non-adherence to prescribed treatments including dietary recommendations, is taken into account as a major barrier to the control of blood sugar levels in various countries [16–18] which can even expose patients to risks of seriously chronic complications and early death [1820]. According to the related literature, low adherence to prescribed diets has been constantly reported in patients with T2D [12, 21, 22].…”
