Title: New Media Obesity Treatment in Community Health Centers
Brief Summary: This purpose of this trial is to determine whether a 12-month eHealth behavioral intervention that includes interactive self-monitoring and feedback, tailored skills training materials, telephone counseling calls, and primary care physician (PCP) counseling will produce greater weight change at 12 months than a standard primary care control.

D: (Intervention study)

Inclusion Criteria:

Subjects were considered eligible if they were 45 years old or older but younger than 70 years old at study entry, had type 2 diabetes and met both "(1) and (2)" or both "(1) and (3)" described below. \[Note: Those who met all three "(1), (2) and (3)" were also considered eligible for inclusion.\](1) Glycemic control Those with HbA1c 6.9% or greater despite treatment with any of the three regimens given below. Diet and exercise therapy alone, Diet and exercise therapy plus 1 oral anti-diabetic drug, Diet and exercise therapy plus, GI and 1 other oral anti-anti-diabetic drug (2) Blood pressure control Those with the following casual blood pressure (BP) level as measured on an outpatient basis, Systolic BP 140 mmHg or diastolic BP 90 mmHg while not on an antihypertensive agent, Systolic BP 130 mmHg or diastolic BP 80 mmHg while on 1 or 2 ARB, ACEI or long-acting CCB Those receiving antihypertensive agents other than ARB, ACEI or long-acting CCB were not eligible for study entry, with the exception of those who were receiving these agents for other purposes than blood pressure lowering. (3) Lipid metabolism Those with the following fasting lipid levels while not on a lipid-lowering agent LDL-cholesterol, 120 mg/dL (as calculated by using the Friedewald formula) Triglycerides, 150 mg/dL HDL-cholesterol, \< 40 mg/dL Subjects receiving 1 lipid-lowering agent were judged eligible for study entry if they met any of the above criteria. However, care needs to be taken to ensure that those on fibrates discontinue the fibrate treatment at the start of the study when they are assigned to the intensive therapy arm.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Those with poorly controlled hypertension despite pharmacological therapy (systolic BP 200 mmHg or diastolic BP 120 mmHg) 2. Those on insulin therapy 3. Those with non-diabetic renal disease 4.

Those suspected of having hereditary lipid disorder with a strong family history of lipid metabolic disorder 9. Those who were receiving antihypertensive agents other than ARB, ACEI, long-acting CCB, except where they were receiving these agents for other purposes than blood pressure lowering 10. Those who were receiving 3 or more antihypertensive agents (i.e., ARB, ACEI, and long-acting CCB), except where they were receiving these agents for other purposes than blood pressure lowering 11. Those with more serious retinopathy than proliferative retinopathy 12. Renal failure (serum Cr: 2.0 mg/dL in men; 1.5 mg/dL in women) 13.
