Impact of an Automated Telephone Intervention on Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) in Type 2 Diabetes

February 20, 2013 updated by: University of Minnesota

The Impact of an Automated Telephone Intervention on HbA1c in Type 2 Diabetes: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Aim 1. Determine the impact of a daily, automated telephone intervention on HbA1c levels compared to standard care in older patients with type 2 diabetes.

Aim 2. Determine the impact of the automated telephone intervention compared to standard care on adherence to prescribed SMBG frequency in older patients with type 2 diabetes.

Aim 3. Determine the impact of the automated telephone intervention compared to standard care on self-reported diabetic control problems in older patients with type 2 diabetes.

Aim 4. Determine the impact of the automated telephone intervention compared to standard care on self-reported attitudes and health beliefs concerning diabetes in older patients with type 2 diabetes
