Diabetes care

Ethnicity disparities in diabetes management are starting to be addressed effectively, according to a study of patients with diabetes in North West London.

A systematic review of physical activity and dietary interventions for people at risk of developing type 2 diabetes found that the most effective interventions were associated with higher levels of contact frequency and certain types of behaviour change techniques (goal-setting, self-monitoring)
