Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a multi-component remote care model (telephone-based) is effective to achieve the modification of unhealthy eating practices and increase physical activity in adults who have prediabetes and over-weight/obesity. The effectiveness of the remote care model will be determined with respect to the mentioned practices as well as anthropometric parameters (Waist circumference and Weight) and clinical parameters (Fasting Glucose, Triglycerides, Total Cholesterol) which are sensitive to changes in these habits. The counseling intervention is the core of the multi-component tele-care model, which also includes counseling-through text messages, supply of Educational material and self-monitoring equipment (pedometers and measuring tape for patients to check their waist circumference).

Interventions
A remote intervention based on counseling (telephone-based) was implemented. This counseling intervention is the core of the multi-component model, which also includes counseling through text messages, the purveyance of educational material, and self-monitoring equipment (pedometer \& waist circumference measuring tape). The phone counseling is made by health centers professionals who have been trained to apply theories on behavioral change and decision-making. Phone counseling is conducted at least once a month. Messages are sent weekly and are related to the topics referred to in phone counseling sessions. The educational material and equipment -respectively- seek to provide additional information and foster the habit of self-monitoring progress and/or reversions in the change process.
Usual care from health centers consisting of medical indication of physical activity and healthy eating recommendations, as well as referral to Dietitian if appropriate, an invitation to participate in educational activities at health centers and periodic inspection appointments
