Participant Flow

All potential participants are invited to complete a pre-telephone screening. Those who pass the pre-telephone screening are potentially eligible to participate in the study and invited to attend a screening baseline visit where they are asked to complete a physical exam, serum blood tests, and a 2 week run-in period.

During the 2-week run-in, eligible participants are asked to wear Fitbit pedometer every day for 10 hours/day, take photos with their smart phone of each meal for 3 consecutive days, and email these photos to research study email. Those who pass the physical exam, serum lab test, and run-in period are then randomized to one of two study groups.

Intervention Group - Start With PilAm Go4Health Intervention
In the first 3 months intervention group start PilAm Go4Health lifestyle intervention. After initial 3-months participants will transition to a 3-month maintenance phase to maintain weight loss and learned lifestyle behaviors on their own. Group will complete the study at 6 months. PilAm Go4Health Weight-loss Program: This is a 3-month lifestyle intervention promoting weight loss through physical activity and health diet using a mobile health app, pedometer to track daily step-counts, and social networking (in-person and Facebook) to reduce risks for metabolic syndrome in Filipino Americans with type 2 diabetes on oral meds. Subjects will be asked: 1) log daily calorie/food intake and weekly wt. in mobile app diary and 2) wear a pedometer for 10hrs/day to monitor steps
Active Wait-list Control Group - Start With Pedometer Only
In the first 3 months this groups will start with a pedometer only. After 3 months, this group will transition to receive the PilAm Go4Health Weight-loss Program lifestyle intervention for the next 3 month and will complete the study for a total of 6 months PilAm Go4Health Weight-loss Program: This is a 3-month lifestyle intervention program promoting weight loss through physical activity and health diet using a mobile health application (app), pedometer to track daily step-counts, and social networking (in-person and virtual social networking through Facebook) to reduce risks for metabolic syndrome in Filipino Americans with type 2 diabetes on metformin. Subjects will be asked: 1) to use a mobile app diary every day to input their weight, and calories (food and drink intake) and 2) wear a pedometer everyday to monitor their physical activity (step-counts).
