Association of Novel Clinical and Behavioural Markers with HbA1c Improvement: A Latent Class Analysis of 912 Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Diabetes Res Clin PractPublished Prospective cohort study with latent class analysis

Authors' conclusion

Individuals with higher baseline HbA1c, education, motivation, and activity levels experienced the most significant HbA1c reductions in response to lifestyle interventions. A tailored approach to these modifiable characteristics may help patients achieve substantial 12-month HbA1c reductions.
