Family-based Prevention of Diabetes Through Eating Habits and Physical Activity

Families will participate in telehealth family education on diabetes management and prevention through lifestyle modifications in their everyday occupations regarding current recommendations for physical activity, grocery shopping, meal preparation, and family meal routines. Each family will be assisted in setting tailored goals for the family as a whole and individually regarding physical activity and dieting habits. The goals will be incorporated into family daily routines, to secure manageability and sustainability of the new lifestyle habits. Local facilities and communy networks will be engaged in this process to empower and motivate the participants. Working with the goals will be monitored and facilitated throughout the intervention period of 3 months. Before discharge, each family will co-produce a maintenance plan for physical activity and healthy dieting.
