Improving the Self Management Skills of Older Adults With Diabetes
The study will help determine if the Better Choices Better Health Diabetes program
(community-based or online, also known as the Diabetes Self-Management Program) improves the
hbA1C of people with Type-II diabetes. The investigators will also examine 1) symptoms
(fatigue, sleep, low blood sugar symptoms, depression, shortness of breath), 2) healthy
behaviors (blood sugar monitoring; taking medications as prescribed; getting eye, foot,
kidney and cholesterol exams; and activity), 3) the use of health care services. This
project is a translational study to demonstrate the effectiveness of the intervention in the
context of a major insurer.

Self-report questionnaires and hbA1c capillary blood collection kits will be administered at
baseline (prior to the intervention), six-months and twelve-months. Differences between
baseline and followup scores will be used to determine if participants have benefited from
the intervention, using intent-to-treat methodology. Subgroups and delivery method
(small-group or on-line) will be compared using repeated measures and analyses of
covariance.
