Researchers are studying movement behaviours in Bahraini adults with type 2 diabetes to better understand physical activity and sedentary patterns and their impact. The study aims to examine how these behaviours relate to body measurements, diabetes-related health markers, psychological factors, and environmental influences. It also explores the practicality of using physical activity assessment tools in routine clinical care for people with diabetes. Participants will wear an accelerometer device for seven days to monitor their movement. The study involves two visits: the first includes body measurements, collection of health and sociodemographic information, questionnaires on behavioural and environmental factors, and fitting the accelerometer. The second visit occurs after seven days to return the device and diary, complete the questionnaires again, and evaluate the device's usability. During the study, researchers collect data on physical activity, sedentary behaviour, clinical parameters, and psychological factors. Participants keep an activity diary and complete questionnaires at both visits. The primary outcome measured is movement behaviour over one week. Safety and any adverse events are monitored during and up to two weeks after the study. The total participation time spans about one week between visits.
