Impact of a Virtual Diabetes Self-Care and Education Program on Diabetes-related Outcomes in Latinos With T2 Diabetes
August 15, 2022 updated by: Joslin Diabetes Center
The Impact of a Comprehensive Virtual Diabetes Self-Care and Education Program on Diabetes-related Outcomes in Latinos With Type 2 Diabetes
The goal of this study is to evaluate the impact of a comprehensive diabetes education and management program based on frequent communication with patients using teleconsultation, text messaging, and phone calls on diabetes related outcomes in Latino patients with type 2 diabetes.
The investigators hypothesize that the decline in hemoglobin A1c value between the baseline and the six-month visit will be at least 0.5 percent greater in the intervention group than in the control group.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
No Intervention: Control
Patients in this group will attend regular clinical and education appointments as offered by the clinic for their diabetes care.
|
|
Experimental: Intervention
Patients in this group will be part of a Virtual Diabetes Self-Care and Education Program.
They will receive a phone to communicate with a diabetes educator for 6 months.
They will connect with the diabetes educator for weekly video conferences of up to 30 minutes for twelve consecutive weeks, followed by 7 phone calls.
Additionally, they will receive a weekly text message about diabetes for 6 months.
|
Participants will be able to have frequent contact in order to share physical activity and glucose data with the diabetes educator using the smartphone they will receive.
Information downloaded to the Glooko Population Management tool can be shared with the diabetes educator.
Participants will be given a Fitbit physical activity tracker which they can use to record their activity and share the information with the diabetes educator using the device's smartphone application.
Other Names:
All virtual visits were performed via provided smartphone.
In addition, participants will receive a Glooko MeterSync Blue cable which is able to connect to most glucose meters in order to download glucose data to the Glooko Population Management tool on their smartphones
