title: Systematic review and meta-analysis: Is lifestyle modification effective for glycemic control among adults with type II diabetes in Southeast Asia?
abstract: This systematic review with meta-analysis examined whether lifestyle modification (diet and/or exercise) is effective for glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes in Southeast Asia. Results showed that lifestyle modification is effective in the short term (3months), but not over the longer term (6months) in this population.
