Online patient education interventions in type 2 diabetes or cardiovascular disease: A systematic review of systematic reviews

Type 2 diabetes (Type 2 DM) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) are two of the largest causes of ill health and mortality globally [1]. Whilst pharmacological therapy is a key management component, lifestyle factors significantly impact the trajectory. Making adjustments requires patients to learn about the importance of these factors in their condition [2]. Furthermore, enabling patients to better understand their conditions can improve coping strategies and reduce health related anxiety and depression [3].
