PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: baseline and 1 year

Population: Sample size estimates were based on the study hypotheses and the associated primary endpoint. Dropouts were analyzed using intention to treat methodology.

The study staff will determine the status of the 13 behaviors/goals for the year prior to study enrollment. Our primary endpoint will be the mean change after 1 year in number of behaviors/goals met from baseline.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 1 year

Participants completed the Fisher Brief Diabetes Screening Instrument at baseline and after 1 year of intervention. The instrument consists of 4 questions regarding how participants feel about dealing with diabetes. They are answered using a scale that goes from 1-6, 1= not a bother and 6=very bothersome. Range 4-24. Low distress \< 12 : moderate / high distress \> or = 12.
