Behavioral Lifestyle Intervention Study (BLIS) in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes in UAE: A Randomized Controlled Trial in Real Life Setting

March 7, 2015 updated by: Sarah Qassim Abdi, Rashid Centre for Diabetes and Research
The primary purpose of this study is to develop a behavioral lifestyle intervention and evaluate its effectiveness in improving the glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes in real life setting. This is because ambiguity still exists on the effectiveness of behavioral lifestyle interventions in routine clinical practice despite of the efficacy of large randomized controlled trials, suggesting the need for more research in this area.
