In a systematic review and meta-analysis of 7 RCTs comparing home visits to usual care for management of diabetes, the meta-analysis determined a mean difference in HbA1c (%) in those receiving home visits was -0.79% [95% CI: -0.93 to -0.25%]; p<0.05. There were not enough data to evaluate the costs versus the benefits of home visits.
Please choose the most appropriate interpretation:
Home visits are more effective at reducing HbA1c than usual care;
Home visits are more effective at reducing HbA1c than usual care, so should be incorporated into daily dietetic practice;
Home visits are not more effective at reducing HbA1c than usual care; OR
Home visits are no better or worse than usual care at reducing HbA1c.
