Rural Alliance for Diabetes Prevention Study

This study is looking at the best ways to help people in rural areas prevent type 2 diabetes. It compares two ways to deliver the National Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP): one uses Zoom group video sessions and the other is self-directed with online materials. Both methods provide access to a lifestyle coach and technology to track weight and physical activity. You might be able to join if you are 18 or older, have a BMI (Body Mass Index) of 25 or higher (23 or higher if Asian), and have had blood test results in the pre-diabetic range within the last year (HbA1C between 5.7%-6.4% or fasting plasma glucose between 100-125 mg/dl, or 2-hr. plasma glucose between 140-199 mg/dL), or a history of gestational diabetes. The main goal is to see how much weight participants lose over 12 months. The current recruitment status is unclear.

Study design
This is an interventional study planning to enroll 160 participants. It compares two different ways to deliver the Diabetes Prevention Program.
What's involved
You would participate in either Zoom group video sessions or a self-directed online program for 12 months. Your weight, physical activity, and HbA1c (a measure of blood sugar over time) will be assessed at the beginning, at 6 months, and at 12 months.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Your weight will be measured at 12 months. Other outcomes like HbA1c and physical activity will also be assessed at 12 months.

    Weight (kg) will be assessed to the nearest 0.1 kg with a calibrated scale (Belfour Inc., Model #PS6600). All participants will be weighed between the hours of 6 and 10 am following an overnight fast of at least 8 hours in a standard hospital gown.
