I Can Do This! Managing My Diabetes
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Diabetes
In brief
The goals of this study are to: 1. Co-develop a user-friendly word game-based workbook format for patients with diabetes to understand how to manage their diabetes. For this study, the first section of the workbook will be developed to teach carbohydrate management. 2. Assess the feasibility and acceptability of the workbook. 3. Understand the implementation challenges that will be important for improving the workbook and preparing it for larger-scale effectiveness research. Participants will be asked to: * Complete the workbook during their waiting time in the clinic or at home. * Engage in word games designed to teach diabetes management vocabulary and concepts. * Attend follow-up sessions to assess changes in self-efficacy and glycemic control.

You may qualify if…
- Focus group inclusion:
- Patients: adult with diabetes and patient at the Midtown Clinic
- Caregivers: partner, or caregiver of a patient with diabetes
- Providers: Physician Assistant (PA), Nurse Practitioner (NP), or MD who cares for patients with diabetes
- Diabetes educators: diabetes educator
- Focus group exclusion:
- Cannot speak/read English
- Unwilling to participate in group discussion
- Pregnancy
- Aim 2 inclusion criteria:
- Having type 2 diabetes which is not insulin dependent since insulin management adds another level of diabetes self-management that would confound self-efficacy scores.
- Having a hemoglobin a1c less than 10% based on their last 3 hemoglobin a1c readings within the 2 years before the recruitment phase of the study. The ADA recommends the initiation of insulin therapy for individuals with a hemoglobin a1c above 10%, therefore the study will focus on an intervention for diabetes before insulin is likely to be part of the management plan.
- Not having any conditions that could interfere with the accuracy of a hemoglobin a1c result: anemia, hemoglobinopathy, end-stage renal disease, chronic liver disease.
- The ability to read a passage set at a fifth-grade literacy, a score of at least 3 on the Mini-Cog test scale which would represent a lower likelihood of dementia, and the ability to drive to medical visits.
- Subjects will represent a diversity of age, educational level, and socioeconomic status (will use type of medical insurance as a proxy)
- Aim 2 exclusion criteria:
- Cannot speak/read English
- Unwilling to return for a follow-up visit in 3 months
- Pregnancy
