Reducing Sedentary Behaviour in Patients With Type II Diabetes

Consistent with social learning theory, the primary care provider and the DIGMA support team will model, demonstrate, and verbalize aspects of increased confidence to perform the 1-hour appointment in a standing position and offer a variety of strategies to cope and overcome any feelings of discomfort. Emphasis will be placed on the strategies the primary care team uses to break sitting with standing and light, incidental movements. It will be anticipated that the participant will observe cues and relevant information specific to their behaviour change and engage in minimal sedentary behaviour.
