Accounting for concurrent antihyperglycemic medication changes in dietary and physical activity interventions: A focused literature review.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

To summarize methods used to account for antihyperglycemic medication changes in randomized controlled trials evaluating the effect of dietary and physical activity interventions on glycemia among adults with diabetes.

Methods

Using studies included in two recently published systematic reviews of randomized controlled trials examining the glycemic effects of dietary and physical activity interventions, we evaluated how each study accounted for antihyperglycemic medication changes. Data were analyzed using summary statistics, stratified by the type of intervention studied, and each was assigned a score from 0 to 6 reflecting the strength of medication controls employed.

Results

We evaluated 22 physical activity focused and 27 dietary focused articles. Our scoring
