Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to see if an online program for patients with diabetes helps patients improve their self-care (how they take their medications, what they eat, how much they exercise, and whether they smoke).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Patient portals are online programs that can provide a number of functions for patients, among them:

* Ability to request appointments, referrals, and medication refills;
* Ability to send secure electronic messages to medical staff, and to receive replies;
* Access to the medical record;
* Disease management

We are comparing two patient portals with different sets of features to determine if personalized information and guidance can improve self-care and measures of diabetes-related health. Self-care measures will be assessed using standardized questionnaires at baseline, 3, and 6 months. Chart review will be used to assess measures of diabetes-related health.
