The Effect of Genetic Counseling for Adult Offspring of Patients with Type 2 Diabetes on Attitudes Toward Diabetes and its Heredity: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Abstract: The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of diabetes genetic counseling on attitudes toward diabetes and its heredity in relatives of type 2 diabetes patients. This study was an unmasked, randomized controlled trial at a medical check-up center in Japan. Subjects in this study are healthy adults between 30 and 60 years of age who have a family history of type 2 diabetes in their first degree relatives. Participants in the intervention group received a brief genetic counseling session for approximatel… Show more

“…Only one study in this review used communication of familial risk of type 2 diabetes directly to relatives as a tool for behavior change [23] and showed significant changes in some of the primary outcomes. Previous research indicates that informing people about their familial risk increases people's feelings of control over their ability to prevent type 2 diabetes [43], and their perception of personal risk [44], suggesting that such interventions are potentially simpler and cheaper, and require further investigation. One study delivered the intervention online by emailing participants tailored lifestyle recommendations (27).…”

“…The effect of psychological reactions is related to information received and subjective perceptions about a person's risk of disease (Godino et al, 2016). This proves that the counseling process could resolve psychosocial problems for sufferers of diabetes through discussion methods and problem orientation (Eijzenga et al, 2014;Montgomery et al, 2013;Nishigaki et al, 2014). Another statement reveals that genetic counseling can be used as a motivational enhancement approach and emotional support in diabetics (Nishigaki et al, 2014).…”

“…Recently, individuals’ genotypes have been shown to be associated with variable responses to lifestyle interventions in individuals with prediabetes and women at risk of GDM. In the USA and Japan, researchers examined whether genetic counseling for individuals at risk of having diabetes would motivate behavioral change, but failed to show significant improvement, at least in the short term. Prospective analysis of the Diabetes Prevention Study also showed that intensive lifestyle modification was effective regardless of genetic risk, and was effective even in individuals with the highest genetic risk.…”
