Official title
The Impact of Genetic Testing for Type 2 Diabetes on Health Behaviors
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
In this 6-month randomized, controlled trial, we examined whether providing participants with genetic test results and counseling regarding their risk for type 2 diabetes would motivate them to improve their health behaviors and lose weight to reduce their diabetes risk. We hypothesized that participants who received conventional diabetes counseling plus genetic test results and counseling would have at least 6 lb greater weight loss at 3 months than participants who received conventional diabetes counseling without genetic test results.
