Behavior change techniques to improve treatment adherence in type 2 diabetes: A systematic review.

Cognitive-behavioral interventions have shown positive results in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) self-management; however, the lack of detailed descriptions of these interventions makes their replication difficult. This study aims to identify behavioral change techniques (BCT) for improving adherence to medication, diet, and exercise in adults with T2DM.
