About this trial
Type 2 Diabetes remains a major chronic disease among adults in the United States. A way to prevent Type 2 Diabetes is to engage in a diabetes prevention program. In the diabetes prevention program, individuals at risk of Type 2 Diabetes meet with a health coach to learn effective ways to build health behaviors around diet and physical activity. Individuals who participate in the diabetes prevention program are more likely to lose weight and eat a healthy diet.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
≥age 18
rationale: adolescents who are at-risk of T2DM may have unique needs that will not be addressed in this study
Most recent BMI ≥ 25kg/m 2 and not pregnant
rationale: elevated BMI is associated with higher risk of developing T2DM
Disqualifiers
Individuals with HbA1c or glucose levels above the indicated glucose ranges will be advised to see their physician and excluded from participation unless they receive physician consent to participate.
Pregnant adults (>18 years old) will not be included in this current study because prediabetes (HbA1c levels between 5.7% - 6.4% within the last 36 months) during pregnancy presents unique physiological challenges that the study intervention does not address.
Pregnancy status will be based on participants self-report. We will not provide any pregnancy tests prior to enrollment.
