Objective: To identify the relationship between dietary patterns, physical activity, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in patients of Type 2 Diabetes (T2D).
Methodology: A review of studies from specified electronic databases was conducted to find relevant studies published between 2015 and 2022. PICO format was used to determine which studies to be included. Data extraction and appraisal assessment by multiple reviewers was conducted to synthesize the results. Eight studies met the criteria, focusing on physical activity, diet, or CBT in adults with T2D.
Results: Positive effects of these interventions were found on patient outcomes and quality of life. The evidence strength was moderate. Physical activity, diet, and CBT improved quality of life and symptoms of diabetes.
Conclusion: This systematic review showed the significance of physical activity, diet, and CBT in diabetes management and improving diabetes symptoms. This lead to better glycemic control, lifestyle changes, self-management, and overall better health status. Further research should explore the integration of CBT with physical aspects to optimize diabetes management and promote patient well-being.
Key words: Diabetes mellitus, cognitive behavioral therapy, physical activity, quality of life.
