Summary

The prevalence of diabetes has increased worldwide, making it the most prevalent metabolic disorder. Physical inactivity contributes to the progression of this disease and aggravates other comorbidities, such as obesity and cardiovascular disease. Beneficial strategies aimed at promotion and healthy aging, oriented to decrease sedentary behavior, are necessary to obtain desirable metabolic effects and improve the quality of life of people with diabetes.

The objective is to examine, through a clinical trial, the effect of decreasing sedentary time and increasing motivation to adopt an active lifestyle on different clinical, anthropometric and biochemical parameters in patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Reduction of Sedentary Behavior

The intervention group will receive an intervention that will include two group sessions, bimonthly phone calls and a face-to-face visit with the study nurse. Phone calls will be made every two months using motivational interviewing techniques with the aim of educating on habits and behaviors that reduce sedentary lifestyles, addressing needs and concerns on an individual basis, and enhancing patients motivation, well-being and quality of life. The same purpose is served by the face-to-face visit that will be conducted in the third month of the study. The study's interventions have a personalized approach, which considers individual preferences and needs to consolidate the new habits acquired in the long term. The active intervention has a duration of 6 months and will be carried out by nursing professionals.

BEHAVIORAL

Educational support

Every two months, this group will receive detailed written information about healthy lifestyle habits via email, emphasizing the importance of maintaining an active lifestyle. Additionally, they will be provided with standard educational material on the management of type 2 diabetes.
