Online diabetes prevention programs are as effective as in-person programs for weight loss

(University of California - Los Angeles Health Sciences) An intensive, multifaceted online diabetes prevention program is as effective as in-person programs and can make prevention programs more accessible to those at risk for developing diabetes. Weight loss for online participants was at least comparable to what it was for in-person program participants. In addition, the researchers found that the online program had significantly better participation than the in-person program.
