Sophia Step Study - a Behaviour Change Program on Physical Activity in Persons With Pre- and Type 2 Diabetes

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Type 2 Diabetes
Prediabetes
Registration Number
NCT02374788
Lead Sponsor
Sophiahemmet University
Brief Summary

The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of two levels of primary care physical activity interventions on metabolic control and cardiovascular risk factors, compared to usual care in patients with pre- and type 2 diabetes.

The hypothesis is that both levels of interventions have effect on HbA1c with the more intense Group intervention having superior effects.

Detailed Description

Regularly physical activity may decrease the risk for type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, overweight and premature deaths. Despite the evidence that physical activity is beneficial to health,it is often ignored and underused aspect in diabetes care. The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of two levels of primary care physical activity interventions on metabolic control and cardiovascular risk factors, compared to usual care in patients with pre- and type 2 diabetes.
