Strelitz J, et al. - Researchers focused on changes in diet, physical activity, and alcohol use in the year following diabetes diagnosis among 852 adults with screen-detected type 2 diabetes in the ADDITION-Cambridge study. They also examined the links of changes in behaviors with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause death. From 49 general practices in Eastern England, participants were recruited from 2002 to 2006, and were observed through 2014. A lower hazard of CVD was reported in relation to small reductions in alcohol use, and a lower hazard of all-cause mortality was observed in relation to small reductions in calorie intake in the year after diabetes diagnosis. The investigators suggested that moderate behavior change targets can be achieved outside of treatment programs in settings with insufficient resources for specialist-led interventions, and these may result in attenuation of the long-term risk of CVD complications.
