      Behavior Modification in the Treatment of Diabetes

      There has been marked increases in the prevalence of Type II Diabetes paralleling increases in obesity and sedentary behavior within the U.S. Additionally, patients experience psychiatric comorbidities, such as depression, that have also been linked with poorer health behaviors. This disturbing trend strongly implicates the role of health behaviors, such as poor nutrition and lack of physical activity in the onset and progression of diabetes. To compound the issue, healthcare providers are tasked with the mounting challenge of treating this disease while simultaneously combating patient nonadherence to medical regimens and lifestyle changes. Despite advancements in technology such as continuous glucose monitoring and increasingly effective prescription drugs, healthcare providers continue to struggle to help their patients’ maintain healthy HbA1C levels due to the need for patients to strictly adhere to regimens as well as successfully modify behaviors outside of the clinic. This presents healthcare providers with the challenge of providing treatment options and therapies in the clinic that patients will successfully follow in the home environment. Behavioral interventions have been effective in helping patients adhere to treatment recommendations. These techniques can be used within the clinic in order to support patients in achieving glycemic control and managing their diabetes.
