MEARLY MANAGEMENT OF T2 DIABETES SAVES LIVES
HbA1c = 8.4%
Early management of type 2 diabetes can
result in a 17% and 25% reduction in risk of
CVD and all cause mortality respectively over
6 years
HbA1c = 6.5%
It’s crucial to motivate patients to tightly
control their HbA1c and other factors as
early as possible

HWE NEED BETTER MOTIVATION TO ENGAGE
To engage people in prevention we need a strong motivator
that frames the benefits of specific lifestyle changes that we
know will improve health in the longer term
HMOST MOTIVATING OUTCOMES FOR PATIENTS
Most motivating outcomes:
● Reducing complications
● Living a longer, healthier life
● Getting blood glucose down
● (Avoiding/reducing meds)
Younger Lives Patient Survey,
n=500 (2022)
HWHY AN ‘AGE BASED’ APPROACH WORKS
● Ageing happens to everyone & is progressive
● Everyone wants to delay it
● ‘Staying young for your age’ is a emotionally
powerful short hand for living a longer and
healthy life (and avoiding complications) “[...] sort of nails things that you actually know… it actually
● Powerful motivator especially with people 40+
nails it down, hang on a minute you’re actually running out
of time here and you’ve got to do it”
Shefer et al., 2016 (BMC Public Health 16:1221-1232 )
HTHE EFFECTIVENESS OF THIS APPROACH
(HEART AGE CLINICAL TRIAL)
Clinical trial shows that Heart Age has a
significantly better impact on health
one year on versus telling someone
their risk
● 13% lower cardiovascular risk
● 4 times more likely to quit smoking
● 3 times more likely to lose weight
● 2 times more likely to lower blood
pressure
● 2 times more likely to lower blood
glucose and blood cholesterol
We are the original inventors of Heart
Age in 2007. Since launch, Heart Age
has now been used by millions of
people around the world
MEFFECTIVE ‘AGEING’ IS OBSERVED IN DIABETES TRIALS
In the ADDITION Trial, a delay in treatment
was associated with an event rate that would
not be seen until a later age if it had been
treated earlier

do - to lose weight gradually...

ABOUT MOTIVATION AND CONFIDENCE
MPEOPLE ARE MOTIVATED TO CHANGE HAVING SEEN
THEIR RESULT
lifestyle changes, while a lower percentage
are not motivated to take medication
Diabetes Age Users (Aug 2022)
MBUT SOME MAY BE LOOKING FOR MORE HELP DUE TO
LACK OF CONFIDENCE
It may be that those who are very confident
already in making changes can self manage
with guidance, but those ‘somewhat’
confident are more likely to benefit from
greater support.
Helpful to know in shared decision making
conversations and when recommending
support options

HDIFFERENT PATIENT MOTIVATION TYPES
Not Motivated
“The other tablets I take are all in the morning, this one is at night, then one night I forget, then
the next night I forget, and I can't be bothered taking these because I don't think - I can’t
believe tablets would do (me any good) - you know?”
Externally Motivated
“Knowing that I’m going to see (practitioner) every so often….part of me says “well you’ve got
to behave yourself girl because you're going to be going and seeing them, and they’ll know if
you haven't been behaving yourself, your weight and your levels and everything else”
Introjected
“I’m going to be good and go back on my diet, it’s entirely my fault because I know the rights
and the wrongs and the do’s and don’t do’s”
Identified
“I don't want to go blind, I don't want my legs chopped off and I’d like to live a bit longer….so I
want to stay as healthy as I can for as long as I can, preferably with as little medication as I
can”
Integrated
“I think I’ve entered now into a pattern and a way of life”
Intrinsic
“The exercise now has become so much a part of my life that….. I do it because I enjoy it, I go out, the
hour walking sorts the brain out for the day, its relaxing, sometimes I’m out and I’m back before I’ve
gone, before I realise. Yes I enjoy it”
Sebire et al., (2018) BMC Public Health
MPATIENT CONVERSATIONS SUPPORT PACK
We are currently writing a HCP support guide to using Diabetes Age with your patients
• A practical guide on how to motivate your patients to take action to control their HbA1c
• The role of lifestyle change and medication to do this (recognising that not all patients are motivated by the
same things)
Not Motivated Discuss what patients want from future Show how small changes can be
sustained and effective
Motivated by HCP Make Diabetes Age a goal/target to reviewRelate prescribed recommendations to
at each session years they can take off
Set Targets Have patients set themselves a goal to Relate chosen lifestyle changes and med
achieve adherence to achievement of goal
Integrate into way of life Emphasise how Diabetes Age requires Relate lifestyle changes they feel they can
sustainable changes they can make make and sustain to Diabetes Age
Enjoyable new life Emphasise how Diabetes Age requires Help them find ways to both make
sustainable changes that they will enjoy changes that are enjoyable as well as
reducing HbA1c and Diabetes Age
