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.

What this trial measures
- Weight change across 12 monthsBaseline to 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.
