Supported self-management for people with type 2 diabetes: a meta-review of quantitative systematic reviews.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Self-management support aims to give people with chronic disease confidence to actively manage their disease, in partnership with their healthcare provider. A meta-review can inform policy-makers and healthcare managers about the effectiveness of self-management support strategies for people with type 2 diabetes, and which interventions work best and for whom.

Design

A meta-review of systematic reviews of randomised controlled trials (RCTs) was performed adapting Cochrane methodology.

Setting and participants

Eight databases were searched for systematic reviews of RCTs from January 1993 to October 2016, with a pre-publication update in April 2017. Forward citation was performed on included reviews in Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) Proceedings. W
