Healthy eating and active living for diabetes in primary care networks (HEALD-PCN): rationale design and evaluation of a pragmatic controlled trial for adults with type 2 diabetes

摘要

BackgroundWhile strong and consistent evidence supports the role of lifestyle modification in the prevention and management of type 2 diabetes (T2DM), the best strategies for program implementation to support lifestyle modification within primary care remain to be determined. The objective of the study is to evaluate the implementation of an evidence-based self- management program for patients with T2DM within a newly established primary care network (PCN) environment.
