Motivational Interviewing Improves Weight Loss in Women With Type 2 Diabetes
Overview
This randomized controlled trial examines whether adding motivational interviewing to a group-based behavioral weight control program improves weight loss and glycemic control in overweight women with type 2 diabetes. The study reports that participants receiving the intervention lost significantly more weight at six and eighteen months, with benefits mediated by increased adherence to the program. Results also indicate greater A1C reductions at six months for the intervention group, though the authors note that African-American women appeared to have a diminished benefit from the addition of motivational interviewing.
