Döbler et al. (2018) conducted an RCT in Type 2 diabetes (n=249). Telephone-delivered lifestyle support vs. usual care was evaluated on HbA1c change. A 12-month telephone-delivered lifestyle support intervention improved physical activity rates (26% vs 10%) and reduced HbA1c (-0.68% vs 0.12%) compared to usual care in patients with Type 2 diabetes.
