Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the use and effectiveness of a mobile web application (app) that is designed to educate and allow patients to manage diabetes and make sustainable lifestyle changes, and to study the impact of the app on clinical outcomes of diabetes (HA1C) and educational outcomes (Self-Efficacy for Diabetes Scale). The main question to answer is: Does the use of the Diabetes Application significantly affect clinical outcomes of diabetes and cardiometabolic risk factors (BMI and Blood Pressure)? Patients will be enrolled in one of two available arms of the study. 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.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Hemoglobin A1c Blood Test 6 months
Primary "Self-Efficacy for Diabetes Scale" A validated (free to use) survey that examines self-perceived ability to manage diabetes. Scores are reported on a scale from 1-10. 1 reflecting Not at all confident and 10 reflecting confident. The minimum total value is 8, and the maximum value is 80. A higher score indicates that the individual has a better outcome, i.e., more confident that he/she can perform the task regularly at the present time. 6 months
Secondary Body Mass Index Height-to-weight ratio, an indicator of underweight, normal weight, or overweight/obese 6 months
Secondary Blood pressure Systolic and Diastolic 6 months
