Lifestyle is important for all aspects of health, and Type 2 diabetes is a good example of how much difference eating healthy foods and taking part in regular physical activity can make. Researchers at the National Organization Medical Center Kyoto and several other institutions in Japan tried a system of telephone-delivered lifestyle support to learn whether it could make a difference in preventing the development of Type 2 diabetes. Their work, reported on in the British Medical Journal in August 2015, included 40 groups from 17 healthcare divisions in Japan... 31 companies, 6 communities, and 3 mixed settings. Participants with fasting blood sugars of 100 to 125 mg/dL (5.6 to 6.9 mmol/L) or slightly elevated, were selected. Their ages ranged from 20 to 65 years. Participants were assigned to either an intervention group of 1240 participants or a control group of 1367 participants. Both groups received scales to measure their weight and pedometers to measure their walking distance. Over the course of each year, support calls were provided... 3 times, 6 times, and 10 times for different intervention groups. By the end of 5.5 years, the participants receiving ten support calls per year had 59 percent of the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes compared to the participants receiving little or no support. From these results, it was concluded high-frequency telephone-delivered lifestyle support could be helpful preventing Type 2 diabetes developing. Of course, coaching is only as good as the people who use it. In 2011, a study completed at Kaiser Permanente Hospital in Northern California, USA, offered lifestyle support to its patients. According to an article published in Preventing Chronic Disease in 2013, 34 percent of the Kaiser patients elected to be in the lifestyle support program and only 32 percent of the participants completed it. Of those who completed at least two sessions of coaching, 73 percent were satisfied the program helped them to normalize their weight. Since the participants selected themselves for the program, perhaps they were people who would have done it on their own if the program had not been available. In 2008, the American Journal of Health Promotion reported the results of a study on telephone coaching and weight loss carried out at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, USA. One hundred and twenty obese individuals were in the study. Nutritional supplements, placebos, and telephone support were given. It was found the participants receiving supplements, and telephone coaching lost more weight than those receiving only one or the other. Those receiving no supplements and no telephone support lost the least amount of weight. Although managing your disease can be very challenging, Type 2 diabetes is not a condition you must just live with. You can make simple changes to your daily routine and lower both your weight and your blood sugar levels. Hang in there, the longer you do it, the easier it gets. For nearly 25 years Beverleigh Piepers has searched for and found a number of secrets to help you build a healthy body. Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/9145027
