Brief Summary

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

As adults with type 2 diabetes age, they are increasingly vulnerable to treatment-related hypoglycemia and its related complications (including hospitalization and death). This study proposes to evaluate, in a randomized clinical trial, a strategy of expanded advance care planning to support older adults in value-aligned re-assessment of diabetes treatment regimens with their primary care team. If the aims of this project are achieved and incidence of clinically-significant hypoglycemia is reduced, this Prepare for Your Diabetes web-based patient educational care strategy could be scaled and applied in a wide variety of healthcare settings and chronic conditions in which evolving risks, benefits, and consequences of treatment require re-assessment with age.

Detailed Description

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

In this pragmatic, clinical efficacy, parallel group randomized clinical trial, the study will enroll eligible Kaiser Permanente Northern California members (age 75 years or greater, type 2 diabetes, prescribed insulin or sulfonylureas \[SUs\], and last measured HbA1c \<=8%). Participants randomly allocated to the intervention arm will view the Prepare for Your Diabetes Care web-based educational module that is designed to help them prepare to discuss their diabetes medication regimens with their primary care providers and receive an Action Plan handout. Participants randomly allocated to the control arm will continue with usual care. All participants will complete baseline, 6-month, and 12-month surveys. The hypothesis is that empowering high-risk patients to engage in values-based discussions about diabetes treatment intensity will result - when clinically appropriate - in decreases in diabetes regimen intensity leading to decreased incidence of hypoglycemia over the 12-month study period. If successful, this study will provide evidence to support strategies for safer treatment in older adults with type 2 diabetes.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Educational Video and Action Plan handout

Patients in the intervention arm will be given access to an educational video (Prepare for Your Diabetes Care) and will be supported in viewing the video and the Action Plan handout.

This program will provide brief education about changing risks and benefits of diabetes treatment as patients age, elicit values and preferences regarding treatment, and help direct next conversation steps with the participant's primary care provider.
