Abstract
ObjectiveThis review aimed to assess the effectiveness of interventions for type 2 diabetes (T2D) management in New Zealand on clinical outcomes, and explore the factors impacting their feasibility and acceptability. Study designScoping review. MethodsThree databases (PubMed, Web of Science and Scopus) were searched between January 2000 and July 2023. Reference lists of included studies were hand searched to identify additional articles. ResultsThe search yielded 550 publications, of which 11 were included in the final review. Most interventions (n = 10) focussed on education and seven were delivered by health professionals. Supporting factors for interventions included clinical/peer support (n = 8) and whānau (family) involvement (n = 6). Hindering factors included non-adherence (n = 4) and high drop-out (n = 4). Most studies reported modest improvement in HbA1c and weight at six months, but minimal change in HbA1c, weight, lipids, renal profile, and blood pressure by two years. ConclusionFuture interventions should involve culturally appropriate approaches to improve engagement and acceptability while addressing lifestyle and medication adherence for T2D management. T2D interventions not widely disseminated via academic channels need to be further identified.
