Summary

Globally, type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) and obesity are considered to be the fastest growing disorders and their prevalence has increased dramatically over the last twenty years.

Recent studies have shown that about 19% of UAE population has been diagnosed with DM and 57% of Emirati patients with type 2 DM are obese.

Optimal glycemic control and weight management involve comprehensive lifestyle approaches including nutrition recommendations and adequate levels of physical activity.

However, recent views have suggested that there are other factors, such as sleep deprivation and stress, contribute to development of type 2 DM.

Taking into account the previous findings, the present study was designed to investigate the effects of a personalized intervention on weight and glycemic control in Emirati patients with type 2 DM. The intervention involves assessment and modification of sleep patterns and stress levels.
