      Preventing Complications in South Asians with Type 2 Diabetes: Success and Future 
      Implications.

AB  - Glycaemic control is the basis of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) management and 
      is crucial for preventing diabetes microvascular and macrovascular complications. 
      The South Asian population is at higher risk of T2DM and resultant cardiovascular 
      disease, peripheral vascular disease and death compared to Caucasians. Effective 
      diabetes care has been deemed challenging in this population, but little is known 
      about the usefulness of lifestyle interventions in improving glycaemic control 
      and reducing complications. This narrative review aims to explore the efficacy of 
      lifestyle interventions targeted to South Asians with T2DM in inducing clinically 
      relevant improvements in HbA1c levels at such levels that reduce the risk of 
      diabetes complications. A search of the literature using six databases (MEDLINE 
      (EBSCOhost), PubMed, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled 
      Trials and Scopus) identified dietary-based, physical-activity-based and 
      education-based interventions that aimed to manage T2DM in South Asians. Results 
      showed that dietary and physical activity interventions (duration 3-12 months) 
      have been effective in generating a clinically relevant decrease in HbA1c levels 
      (>/=0.5%) in South Asians with T2DM and could potentially assist in reducing 
      diabetes complications. Education-based interventions produced small effects on 
      glycaemic control. These outcomes support the development of comparable 
      longer-term randomised clinical trials combining dietary and physical activity 
      interventions with the aim to provide further evidence on specific interventions 
      that can lower complications and ensure effective diabetes care in a high-risk 
      population.
