Abstract EN
Relatives of type 2 diabetic patients are at a high risk of developing type 2 diabetes and should be regarded as target of intervention for diabetes prevention.
However, it is usually hard to motivate them to implement preventive lifestyle changes, because of lack of opportunity to take advises from medical professionals, inadequate risk perception, and low priority for preventive behavior.
Prevention strategy for them therefore should be highly acceptable and suited for them.
The parallel, three-group trial is now being conducted to investigate the effects of genetic counseling and/or a computerized behavioral program on the prevention of type 2 diabetes in that population.
The preventive strategies used in this study could provide a novel solution to the numbers of genetically high-risk individuals, if found to be effective.
The objective of this paper is to describe the background, protocol, and baseline patient characteristics of the trial.
