Relationships organized using the Dediabetes Evidence Intelligence™ framework.
HbA1c have the strongest available evidence signals for Behavioral & Lifestyle.
ConsistencyScore™: Results are consistent across studies.
Ranked evidence signals
HbA1c
EvidenceScore™ Strong | EvidenceScore™ 86.1 | moderate positive | ConsistencyScore™ Generally Consistent | 32 studies
Why this answer: This answer is cautious because the available studies report mixed findings.
Limitations
HbA1c, BMI, and Quality of life are among the most studied areas in relation to Behavioral & Lifestyle.
ConsistencyScore™: Consistency cannot yet be determined from the available evidence.
Ranked evidence signals
HbA1c
EvidenceScore™ Strong | EvidenceScore™ 86.1 | moderate positive | ConsistencyScore™ Generally Consistent | 126 studies
BMI
EvidenceScore™ Strong | EvidenceScore™ 79.0 | moderate positive | ConsistencyScore™ Consistent | 33 studies
Quality of life
EvidenceScore™ Strong | EvidenceScore™ 79.0 | weak positive | ConsistencyScore™ Generally Consistent | 28 studies
Why this answer: This answer is cautious because the available studies report mixed findings.
Limitations
Results are mixed or unclear for BMI, Sleep quality, and Diabetic microvascular complication multimorbidity in relation to Behavioral & Lifestyle.
ConsistencyScore™: Results are mixed and should be interpreted cautiously.
Ranked evidence signals
Triglycerides
EvidenceScore™ Strong | EvidenceScore™ 79.0 | neutral | ConsistencyScore™ Mixed | 5 studies
Diastolic blood pressure
EvidenceScore™ Strong | EvidenceScore™ 78.8 | moderate positive | ConsistencyScore™ Mixed | 6 studies
Time in range
EvidenceScore™ Moderate | EvidenceScore™ 69.0 | strong positive | ConsistencyScore™ Mixed | 2 studies
Why this answer: This answer is cautious because the available studies report mixed findings.
Limitations
Engagement score based on uMARS evaluation, Esthetics score based on uMARS evaluation, and Functionality score of acT1ve need more research in relation to Behavioral & Lifestyle.
ConsistencyScore™: Consistency cannot yet be determined from the available evidence.
Ranked evidence signals
Engagement score based on uMARS evaluation
EvidenceScore™ Emerging | EvidenceScore™ 59.0 | strong positive | ConsistencyScore™ Unclear | 1 study
Esthetics score based on uMARS evaluation
EvidenceScore™ Emerging | EvidenceScore™ 59.0 | strong positive | ConsistencyScore™ Unclear | 1 study
Functionality score of acT1ve
EvidenceScore™ Emerging | EvidenceScore™ 59.0 | strong positive | ConsistencyScore™ Unclear | 1 study
Why this answer: This answer is based on a single supporting study.
Limitations
HbA1c have available evidence for Behavioral & Lifestyle, but the comparison requires review of the underlying studies.
ConsistencyScore™: Results are generally consistent across studies.
Ranked evidence signals
HbA1c
EvidenceScore™ Strong | EvidenceScore™ 86.1 | moderate positive | ConsistencyScore™ Generally Consistent | 21 studies
Why this answer: This answer is cautious because the available studies report mixed findings.
