Detailed Description
Participants diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes receive personal coaching from a Certified Diabetic Educator (CDE) over a six-month period. The coaching program is enhanced by integrating a participant-facing mobile application with the coaching platform. Blood glucose test results automatically populate the coaching platform, providing the CDE with information that may better support their coaching efforts.
The participants complete Diabetes Self Management Education (DSME) learning modules for the first 7-12 weeks. Following completion of the modules, the coach continues to provide support to the participant until 24 weeks after the participant's enrollment.
