Study Overview

Brief Summary

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) leads to a high burden of morbidity and mortality, usually attributable to cardiovascular (CVD) causes. A major concern about the disease is that the success of the treatment is highly dependent on self-management, which very often incurs the necessity of behavior change. However, modifying such behaviors, usually linked to daily-life activities, is challenging. Then, the investigators aimed to test the optimal self-management that could be achieved in a reasonable manner carried forward through the Prochaska and DiClemente behavior-changing strategy in a follow-up of 18 months, compared to usual care. Our primary outcome is the between-group difference in HbA1c (%) levels.
