“…Previous publications on SMAs and group visits involved only 1 or 2 providers: a physician, dietician, psychologist, or therapist. [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] In addition, most commercial diet programs do not have pharmacist or physician involvement, although there are some programs available with medical monitoring. The providers for the present study's SMA included a pharmacist, dietitian, and family practice physician.…”

“…The visits were run by a physician, dietician, or staff, and patients in these trials had a significant reduction in their BMI or body fat. [8][9][10] Another trial evaluated focus groups of patients participating in SMAs on managing overweight/ obesity for veterans everywhere, a metabolic assistance group intervention clinic, and smoking cessation at a Veterans Affairs Medical Center. Patients in that trial reported high levels of satisfaction with SMAs and improved self-management skills, overall health, and well-being.…”

“…The Pediatric Obesity Empowerment Model-Group Medical Visits (POEM-GMV) program examined the use of empowerment in children (average age of 10 years) who were overweight or obese [42]. This study showed that empowerment was effective in terms of reducing the body weight, especially in boys [42]. Moreover, improvement in BMI was accompanied by reduced stress levels, increased physical activity, improved diet, and reduction of watching TV [42].…”

As the available therapies for diabetes and obesity are not effective enough, diabetologists and educators search for new methods to collaborate with patients in order to support their health behaviors. The aim of this review is to discuss perspectives for the development of new empowerment-type therapies in the treatment of diabetes/obesity. Empowerment is a process whereby patients gain the necessary knowledge to influence their own behavior to improve the quality of their lives. It is carried out in five stages: (1) identify the problem, (2) explain the feelings and meanings, (3) build a plan, (4) act, and (5) experience and assess the execution. Although many years have passed since the advent and popularization of the concept of empowerment, the area remains controversial, mainly with regard to the methodology of therapy. Some previous studies have confirmed the positive effect of empowerment on body weight, metabolic control, and quality of life of patients with type 2 diabetes; however, few studies have been conducted in patients with type 1 diabetes. There is still a need to confirm the effectiveness of empowerment in accordance with Evidence Based Medicine by performing long-term observational studies in a large group of patients. In future, empowerment may become part of the standard of care for patients with diabetes and/or obesity.

Background The effect of incorporating mobile technology to support participants’ lifestyle change and weight loss in medical group visits has not been well studied in a safety‐net setting. Rationale and Design Thus, the rationale of the current study was to examine the effect of text messaging in a medical group visit, and test the effect of two texting programs (12 weeks and 20 weeks), compared to those who did not receive text‐messaging in the Preventing Obesity With Eating Right (POWER) group visit program. The primary outcome was weight loss. Results We found that those enrolled in the 20‐week and 12‐week texting programs attended more group visit sessions than those enrolled in the POWER group only (p < 0.001). Both POWER and POWER + 20‐week texting groups had a significant reduction in weight at their final group visit compared to their baseline (POWER, 114 ± 27 kg vs. 112 ± 26 kg, p < 0.001; POWER + 20‐week texting, 111 ± 28 kg vs. 109 ± 28 kg, p < 0.01), but not the 12‐week texting group (114 ± 29 kg vs. 113 ± 29 kg, p = 0.22), with no differences between the groups. The number of group visits was correlated with a decrease in weight (rs = 0.12, p < 0.05). Conclusion In conclusion, text messaging programs led to more attendance in the medical group visits, but not greater weight loss or reduction in HbA1c than the POWER group obesity program alone. Further studies are needed to maximize the beneficial effects of texting programs in medical group visits in underserved minority populations.
