Overview
Brief Summary
The increasing prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus is a worldwide problem. In preventing risk factors and unhealthy lifestyle through improved health literacy, chances are seen to delay or even avoid type 2 diabetes mellitus. The aim of the DIMINI-project is to prevent type 2 diabetes mellitus and to strengthen the health literacy of people at increased risk of developing it. For this purpose, people at increased risk are first identified by using the standardized screening tool Finnish Diabetes Risk Score (FINDRISC) adapted for Germany. Identified risk persons then receive a needs-based, modular lifestyle intervention including nutrition tips and physical exercises either paper- or app-based.
Detailed Description
DIMINI, a randomised controlled trial, will assess whether the implementation of a lifestyle intervention for people at increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus will result in an improvement in body weight (primary outcome) and participants health literacy (secondary outcome) or not. A three-month intervention in the intervention group is followed by a one-year follow-up. The control group receives standard care as provided by the German statutory health insurance for three months and a one-year follow-up as well.
