Impact of a Virtual Diabetes Self-Care and Education Program on Diabetes-related Outcomes in Latinos With T2 Diabetes
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
In brief
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.
