Abstract

Lifestyle interventions delivered using telemedicine platforms can overcome geographical barriers. In a pilot randomized trial of 120 rural adults with prediabetes, tele-nutrition plus remote coaching reduced fasting glucose by 8 mg/dL at three months versus usual care. The intervention was well accepted, with high adherence and retention. Scalability and long-term sustainability should be examined in larger trials.
