Remote and Intensive Program for Physical Activity Promotion for People With Type 2 Diabetes (The PRACTICE Trial)

At baseline, this group will receive only the usual standard advice to practice physical activity as an important measure to promote health benefits. During the intervention period, they will receive only telephone calls monthly to assess the physical activity practice, changes in medication, and adverse events. When appropriate, evaluations of 12 and 24 weeks will be scheduled.

"The intervention will be based on a remote approach, for 24 weeks. The intervention will consist of telephone calls and sent messages to promote the practice of 150 minutes/week of physical activity in the daily life of participants, plus short text messages promoting health behaviors related to self-care, nutrition, physical activity, and sedentary behavior.~Initially, this group will be followed weekly during the first 4 weeks. After this period this group can up to two weekly calls, according to their preference. The text messages will be weekly. During the telephone calls, the research team will verify the volume of PA achieved and help the participants to identify and overcome barriers to PA practice, and motivate and register any adverse events related or not to the study."
