Abstract

This systematic review with meta-analysis examined whether lifestyle modification (diet and/or exercise) is effective for glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes in Southeast Asia. Results showed that lifestyle modification is effective in the short term (3 months), but not over the longer term (6 months) in this population.
