OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome

Timeframe: Aggregate of months 4,8,12

This is a percent with a possible range of 0-100 with higher scores indicating better adherence. One Touch Ultra meters (LifeScan, Inc.) for daily glucose control provided frequency of self-monitoring, which when divided by the individualized goals from the nurse visits and multiplied by 100, yielded a percentage adherence score. This percentage adherence score was averaged at 4, 8, and 12 months between all participants in each arm, and those values were then averaged to give an overall percentage adherence score for each arm throughout the course of the study.
