ObjectiveTo evaluate the effectiveness of telemedicine-delivered diet and/or exercise interventions to prevent type 2 diabetes (T2D) in people at risk. MethodsEmbase (via Ovid), Medline (via Ovid), Web of Science, CINAHL, Scopus and SciELO were searched from January 2010-December 2020 for intervention studies using a diet and/or exercise intervention delivered through telemedicine for T2D prevention in people at risk. Parallel randomised controlled trials were meta-analyzed and other intervention designs narratively synthesised. ResultsWe identified 11,645 studies via database searches, of which 226 were full text screened, and 52 interventions included; 32 were included in the meta-analysis and 20 in the narrative synthesis. Telemedicine interventions reduced body weight (mean difference (MD): -1.66 kg, 95% confidence interval (CI) -2.48,-0.90, I2=81%, nstudies=17), body mass index (MD -0.71 kg/m2, 95% CI -1.06,-0.37, I2=70%, nstudies=11), waist circumference (MD -2.82 cm, 95% CI -5.16,-2.35, I2=84%, nstudies=7) and HbA1c (MD -0.07%, 95% CI -0.14,0.00, I2=71%, nstudies=11). No significant effects were found for other clinical outcomes. The narrative synthesis supported the results. ConclusionsOur study highlights the potential for telemedicine-delivered interventions in preventing T2D in people at risk.
