Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Participants in the 'intervention arm' will use the app to view educational information presented as videos in the following areas: Healthy Coping, Healthy Eating, Staying Active, Medications (Use and Safety), Problem Solving in Diabetes and Disease Pathophysiology. They will continue routine follow-up care with their primary care physicians during the study.
Participants in the 'control arm' will continue with their primary care physician in routine follow-up care, as normally scheduled.
Researchers will compare the intervention arm participants to the control arm participants to find out about and compare changes in HA1C, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and body mass index. Groups will also be compared on the basis of self-perceived confidence of managing their diabetes by way of the Diabetes Self Efficacy Scale.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Intervention arm
Participants enrolled in the intervention arm will be given a 6-month access period to the diabetes education application designed by the study team. The web site will offer videos related to a specific areas of education concerning diabetes self-management. To encourage compliance, participant users will receive weekly notifications from the application that will guide them through viewing all videos in the series. Participants will continue routine follow-up appointments with their primary care physicians during the study period. There will be no restrictions on starting or stopping medications during the study period.
Diabetes education web site application
The Diabetes education website application will contain informational videos for this protocol. The videos will include a welcome video and the categorical topics of Healthy Coping, Healthy Eating, Staying Active, Medications (Use and Safety), Problem Solving in Diabetes, and Disease Pathophysiology. Each category contains several videos providing education about a different component of diabetes care.
Control arm
Participants in the control arm will not have access to the Diabetes Application. They will continue follow-up appointments according to the standard of care with their primary care physician, diabetic educators, etc. There are no restrictions on starting or stopping medications for patients within the control arm.
