Internet Diabetes Self-Management
Not Recruiting
Trial ID: NCT00372463
Purpose
Diabetes is a growing health problem causing personal suffering, comorbid conditions,
premature death, and high costs to the individual, the health care system and society. Many
of these problems can be prevented or delayed by controlling the disease. This in turn
requires daily self-management by patients.
We will evaluate an Internet based small group Diabetes Self-Management Program. This program
will be adapted from the Chronic Disease Self-Management Program Online, already developed
and currently being evaluated by the investigators. Participants with type 2 diabetes will be
randomized to participate in the Internet Program or serve as controls continuing with usual
care. Treatment subjects will participate in a structured 6 week interactive web-based online
class with 20-24 other participants and 2 trained peer moderators.
If successful, this project will result in a new and effective means of reaching the CDC
objective and more importantly in improving the quality of life and health status of people
with diabetes while reducing health care utilization and thus costs.
