Each systematic review offers a critical appraisal of published research exploring the benefits of patients adhering to each of the seven behaviors (also known as the AADE7™) listed below:

* healthy eating habits

* physical activity

* glucose monitoring

* medication compliance

* problem solving

* healthful coping

* reducing risk

"Studies of various study designs were carefully reviewed using rigorous review criteria adopted the by American Diabetes Association," commented Diana Pihos, AADE Director of Communications. "Both strengths and weaknesses of the studies were critiqued, to help identify effective strategies for enhancing diabetes educators' effectiveness in educating patients in self-care behaviors. Remaining gaps in existing knowledge were also identified for each behavior division, providing direction for future researchers to follow."
