People with diabetes will be able to manage their condition more effectively with the help of routine lifestyle counselling by primary care experts, according to research.
The Brigham and Women?s Hospital (BWH) study looked at more than 30,000 people with the condition who had been counselled on exercise, diet and weight loss over a period equal to or greater than two years.
It found that when lifestyle counselling was part of routine care for people with diabetes, those with the condition were able to lower their blood glucose, cholesterol levels and blood pressure more quickly than with no counselling.
