Are Digital Diabetes Prevention Programs (d-DPPs) Effective in Improving Outcomes in Prediabetics?
A RCT with 599 prediabetic patients was conducted to determine the effectiveness of a digital diabetes prevention program in improving weight and HbA1c.
The participants were randomized to:
- d-DPP group
- Single-session small-group diabetes-prevention class
Engagement in d-DPPs Was Significantly Related to Improved HbA1c and Weight Loss. d-DPPs can be an Effective Clinical Strategy for Diabetes Support.
d-DPPs: Digital Diabetes Prevention Programs, HbA1c: Glycated hemoglobin.
