The role of stress responses on engagement in dietary and physical activity behaviors among Latino adults living with prediabetes.
This study used qualitative methods to understand how Latinos with prediabetes attempted to modify their diet and physical activity behaviors to slow type-2 diabetes progression and how stress affected their engagement in these behaviors. Findings showed that stress affected behavioral and cognitive progresses that adversely altered primarily dietary behaviors.

Reach, acceptability, and perceived success of a telehealth diabetes prevention program among racially and ethnically diverse patients with gestational diabetes: the gem cluster-randomized trial.
The purpose of this study was to describe overall and race/ethnicity-specific reach, acceptability, and perceived success from an effective telehealth diabetes prevention lifestyle program for patients with gestational diabetes mellitus, implemented in the Gestational Diabetes Effects on Moms (GEM) cluster-randomized controlled trial. An intervention of 13 telephone sessions and behavior change techniques (BCTs) in a healthcare system were tested by GEM. Survey respondents largely rated BCTs as very helpful. Black and White respondents reported more limited success reaching a healthy weight than Asian/Pacific Islander, Hispanic, and multiracial/other women. The researchers concluded that a telehealth diabetes prevention lifestyle program showed both reach and acceptability across racial/ethnic groups, and that similar interventions could encourage preventive care access and help reduce disparities in the risk for diabetes.

Effect of Stanford Youth Diabetes Coaches' Program on youth and adults in diverse communities.
This study’s objective was to assess the effects of the Stanford Youth Diabetes Coaches’ Program (SYDCP) on youth and adults from a rural and urban underserved high school community. The program trains high school students to become diabetes coaches for friends and adult family members. The authors used the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) measure Pediatric Sense of Meaning and Purpose. Coached adults were surveyed using measures from PROMIS Adult Global Health and Self-Efficacy. Twenty-five students participated in the study, with 15 having coached adults with diabetes or prediabetes. Postintervention results included significant improvement in students’ sense of meaning and purpose. Youth and adult-relatedness also led to improved health behaviors.

Peer-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy-based intervention reduced depression and stress in community dwelling adults with diabetes and chronic pain: a cluster randomized trial.
Researchers examined whether a cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)-based program intended to increase physical activity despite chronic pain in patients with diabetes delivered by community members trained as peer coaches also improved depressive symptoms and perceived stress. They found that this peer-delivered CBT-based program improved depressive symptoms and stress in individuals with diabetes and chronic pain. They recommended training community members as a feasible strategy for offering CBT-based interventions in rural and under-resourced communities.

An international, mixed-methods study of the perceived intrusiveness of remote digital diabetes monitoring.
This paper describes an international online vignette-based survey to assess the relationship between remote digital monitoring (RDM) modalities for diabetes and intrusiveness in patients’ lives. The survey was conducted from February-June 2019 in 30 countries with 1010 participants. A total of 2680 vignette-assessments were completed with 52% on type 1 diabetes. Increased intrusiveness was associated with food monitoring compared with glucose- and PA-monitoring alone and permanent monitoring with real-time physician-generated feedback compared with monitoring for a week with feedback. Public-sector data handling was associated with decreased intrusiveness as compared with the private sector.

A randomized study of values affirmation to promote interest in diabetes prevention among women with a history of gestational diabetes.
The purpose of this study was to test whether two interventions promote interest in diabetes prevention among women with a history of gestational diabetes mellitus. The researchers designed an email outreach message incorporating ‘values affirmation,’ a theory-based intervention, and promoting an existing preventive lifestyle program. Selected patients were randomized to read an outreach message containing either no affirmation (control) or 1 of 2 affirmations. Results showed that participants randomized to the values affirmation more frequently demonstrated interest in the lifestyle program and sought information about diabetes prevention, while the parenting affirmation yielded no significant differences in either outcome.

Physical activity in adolescents and children and relationship to metabolic health.
The purpose of this review was to summarize recent developments relating to the role of physical activity in insulin resistance and increased metabolic health in children and adolescents. Recent findings confirm the role of physical activity in decreasing insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome, but the authors note that the current literature is limited by unstandardized research methods and definitions. Future research that addresses these issues in order to offer targeted physical activity interventions is recommended.

Rationale and study protocol for Unidas por la Vida (United for Life): a dyadic weight-loss intervention for high-risk Latina mothers and their adult daughters.
The intervention aims to improve health behaviors and promote weight loss in two at-risk members of the same family: mothers with type 2 diabetes and their overweight/obese adult daughters who are at risk for developing diabetes. Both the dyadic and individual lifestyle interventions are expected to produce greater weight loss at 6, 12, and 18 months than those in minimal intervention control group.

Perceived barriers and preferred components for physical activity interventions in African-American survivors of breast or endometrial cancer with type 2 diabetes: the S.U.C.C.E.S.S. framework.
The study’s objectives were to explore the perspectives of African American survivors with type 2 diabetes on perceived barriers to physical activity (PA) and preferences for a PA intervention and develop a framework for a PA program after cancer treatment. Nine themes were identified that focused on post-treatment physical symptoms. The S.U.C.C.E.S.S. framework summarizes the survivors' preferences for effective lifestyle interventions such as supporting efforts to maintain PA.

Moderate intensity sports and exercise is associated with glycaemic control in women with gestational diabetes.
The aim of the study was to assess the association of regular, unsupervised sports and exercise during pregnancy, by intensity level, with glycaemic control in women with gestational diabetes (GDM). The study concluded that higher volumes of moderate intensity sports and exercise, reported shortly after GDM diagnosis, were significantly associated with increased odds of achieving glycaemic control.

Leveraging EHRs for patient engagement: perspectives on tailored program outreach.
Electronic health records (EHRs) present healthcare delivery systems with scalable, cost-effective opportunities to promote lifestyle programs among patients at high risk for type 2 diabetes, yet little consensus exists on strategies to enhance patient engagement. In this study, the investigators explored patient perspectives on program outreach messages containing content tailored to EHR-derived diabetes risk factors--a theory-driven strategy to increase the persuasiveness of health communications.

Family behaviors and type 2 diabetes: what to target and how to address in interventions for adults with low socioeconomic status.
The researchers studied adults with type 2 diabetes at a Federally Qualified Health Center to better understand experiences with diabetes-specific family behaviors and willingness to engage family members in diabetes interventions. They found that some participants (40 percent) said engaging family in interventions would positively affect all members; others (27 percent) did not want to involve family.

Lifestyle behaviors and ethnic identity among diverse women at high risk for type 2 diabetes.
The authors examined if ethnic identity could help account for variations in lifestyle behaviors within a diverse population at high risk for type 2 diabetes. Their findings suggest that ethnic group attachment is associated with some lifestyle behaviors, independent of acculturation indicators, among young women with gestational diabetes who are at high risk for type 2 diabetes. They suggest that prospective research is needed to clarify the temporal nature of associations between ethnic identity and modifiable diabetes risk factors.

Moderate and vigorous intensity exercise during pregnancy and gestational weight gain in women with gestational diabetes.
The researchers estimated the associations of exercise intensity during pregnancy with the rate of gestational weight gain (GWG) from gestational diabetes (GDM) diagnosis to delivery. Upon stratification by prepregnancy overweight/obesity, they found that significant associations were only observed for BMI greater than or equal to 25.0. There were no associations observed for moderate intensity exercise.

The comparative effectiveness of diabetes prevention strategies to reduce postpartum weight retention in women with gestational diabetes mellitus: the gestational diabetes' effects on moms (GEM) cluster randomized controlled trial.
The researchers compared the effectiveness of diabetes prevention strategies addressing postpartum weight retention for women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) delivered at the health system level: mailed recommendations (usual care) versus usual care plus a Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP)-derived lifestyle intervention. They found that a DPP-derived lifestyle intervention modestly reduced postpartum weight retention and increased vigorous-intensity physical activity.

Behavioral programs for type 2 diabetes mellitus: a systematic review and network meta-analysis.
The purpose of this review was to identify factors moderating the effectiveness of behavioral programs for adults with type 2 diabetes. It concluded that diabetes self-management education offering 10 or fewer hours of contact with delivery personnel provided little benefit. Behavioral programs seem to benefit persons with suboptimal or poor glycemic control more than those with good control.

Impact of education on weight in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes: every little bit helps.
The researchers sought to evaluate the benefit of participation in more limited counseling and/or education among individuals with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes in more modest real-world clinical settings. The average weight loss of patients who received counseling/education alone during the follow-up period (up to three years post-exposure to participation) was 6.3 lbs., and, if received with medication prescription, 8.1 lbs. The weight loss associated with medication was only 3.5 lbs.

Dyadic collaboration in shared health behavior change: the effects of a randomized trial to test a lifestyle intervention for high-risk Latinas.
The authors sought to evaluate the feasibility of a pilot, dyad-based lifestyle intervention, the Unidas por la Vida program, for improving weight loss and dietary intake among high-risk Mexican American mothers with Type 2 diabetes and their overweight/obese adult daughters. They found that, at 16 weeks, Unidas participants lost significantly more weight compared with the control participants, and intervention participants also were more likely to be eating foods with lower glycemic load and less saturated fat. They concluded that interventions that draw upon multiple people who share a health-risk have the potential to foster significant changes in lifestyle behaviors and in social network members' health-related involvement.
