Measure
Control
Patients in this group will attend regular clinical and education appointments as offered by the clinic for their diabetes care.
Intervention
Patients in this group will be part of a Virtual Diabetes Self-Care and Education (DSME) Program. They will receive a phone to communicate with a diabetes educator (DE) for 6 months. They will connect with the DE for weekly video conferences of up to 30 minutes for twelve consecutive weeks, followed by 7 phone calls. They will receive a weekly text message about diabetes for 6 months. Virtual (DSME) Program: Participants will have frequent contact in order to share physical activity and glucose data with the DE using the smartphone they will receive. Information downloaded to the Glooko Population Management tool can be shared with the DE. Fitbit: Participants will be given a Fitbit physical activity tracker which they can use to record their activity and share the information with the diabetes educator using the device's smartphone application. Smartphone: All virtual visits were performed via provided smartphone. Participants will receive a Glooko MeterSyn

Patients (pt) in this group will be part of a Virtual Diabetes Self-Care and Education (DSME) Program. Pt will receive a phone to connect with a diabetes educator (DE) for 6 months. Pt will have a weekly video call of up to 30 min. with the DE for 12 weeks, followed by 7 phone calls. Pt will get a weekly text message about diabetes for 6 months. Virtual DSME Program: pt will have frequent contact in order to share physical activity and glucose data with the DE using smartphone. Information downloaded to the Glooko can be shared with the DE. Fitbit: Participants will be given a Fitbit physical activity tracker which they can use to record their activity and share the information with the DE using the device's smartphone application. Smartphone: All virtual visits were performed via. In addition, pt will receive a Glooko MeterSync which is able to connect to most glucose meters in order to download glucose data to the Glooko Population Management tool on their smartphones
