A modified psychological intervention tailored for diabetes may offer additional benefits in diabetic self-management and glycaemic control compared to standard therapy.
Wroe et al. (2017) conducted an RCT in Type 2 diabetes mellitus with mild to moderate depression and/or anxiety (n=140). Diabetes-specific psychological intervention vs. Standard psychological intervention was evaluated on Mood (95% CI 0.25-5.06, p=<0.05). A diabetes-specific psychological intervention improved mood and adjustment (95% CI 0.25-5.06; P<0.05), and significantly improved self-management and glycaemic control compared to standard care.
