| Title: | Impact of accelerometer and pedometer use on physical activity and glycaemic control in people with type 2 diabetes: a systematic review and meta-analysis [with consumer summary] |

| Consumer Summary: | WHAT'S NEW: The increasing popularity of physical activity monitors and the associated motivational effects on the wearer in the general population suggests a possible role within type 2 diabetes management. This systematic review shows that activity monitor use increases free-living physical activity in people with type 2 diabetes, and suggests that accelerometers have a similar effect to pedometers despite functional differences. Together both types of monitor can initiate activity behaviour in sedentary users, on which to build additional interventions. Available trials, however, do not provide evidence that activity monitors alone produce significant improvement in clinical outcomes. |
