An Adaptation of the Diabetes Prevention Program for Use With High-Risk, Minority Patients With Type 2 Diabetes
PURPOSE The purpose of this pilot study was to determine the effectiveness of an edited Diabetes Prevention Program ( DPP ) Lifestyle Re sources Core Teaching Plan for managing patients with type 2 diabetes in an urban underserved setting . Modifications were made to attempt to cut to the bare essentials to work within the constrained budgets of safety net providers . The primary aim was to achieve a mean absolute reduction in HbA1c level of 1 percentage point . METHODS The authors conducted a r and omized controlled trial of 9 months ' duration for patients with type 2 diabetes with an HbA1c > or=8.0 % . A total of 67 patients r and omized into usual-care and case management groups were evaluated with an intention-to-treat analysis . A modified DPP workbook was used during 7 monthly visits with a nurse case manager . RESULTS As compared with the usual-care group , those in the case management group experienced a greater reduction in HbA1c level ( -1.87 vs -0.54 ; P=.011 ) and weight ( -2.47 kg vs + 0.88 kg ; P=.011 ) . CONCLUSION Use of an edited version of the DPP workbook in an urban , low-income , minority population with type 2 diabetesproduced a significant absolute reduction in HbA1c percentage and weight
