Brief Summary:
The study team want to see if changes in lifestyle and behaviors and self-monitoring of diet and physical activity in older adults who have type 2 Diabetes (T2D) may help to prevent or reduce frailty. Frailty occurs in older adults and leads people to have falls, become disabled, require nursing home placement, and have increased risk of death. T2D is one of the major risk factors for frailty. T2D is a significant problem in older adults and is known to increase the risk of future frailty.

Detailed Description:

Behavioral lifestyle intervention: Participants (N=40) will be randomized to the mHealth+ group Intervention group (Group A; n=20)and mHealth+ individual intervention group (Group B; n=20) group using a randomization table. (1) The mHealth+ group Intervention group (Group A) will receive a modified Look AHEAD behavior lifestyle intervention with smartphone-based self-monitoring of diet and physical activity. This comprises ten group sessions for lifestyle intervention in 6-months. The group will receive three weekly classes in the first month and then bi-weekly classes for month 2-3, and three monthly session in month four, five, and six. The frequency and layout of these classes will allow participants to master new skills gradually, then eventually wean off, and adopt the modified lifestyle as the part of their daily lives. (2) The mHealth+ individual intervention group (Group B) will receive an abbreviated behavior lifestyle intervention with smartphone-based self-monitoring of diet and physical activity in one face-to-face individual session at the beginning of the study. In addition, participants will receive self-study materials, from Look Ahead modules, and a monthly follow-up phone calls for the duration of the study (6-months). The goal for these follow up phone calls are to assess understanding of the modules, to promote continued engagement with the study material, and to provide clarification on materials as needed. Participants in the mHealth+ group Intervention group (Group A) and mHealth+ individual intervention group (Group B will receive instruction on how to download an app to help them record their diet and physical activity at the beginning of the study.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Frailty Scale [ Time Frame: Baseline to 6 months ]
    Change in frailty measured on a scale using a frailty score (0, 1, 2, 3, 4,or 5), with higher scores out of 5 representing greater frailty. Assessments used for scoring include 1) self reported weight loss, 2) self-reported exhaustion 3) low physical activity based on the Minnesota Leisure Time Physical Activity Questionnaire (MLTPAQ) 4) Handgrip strength 5) 10 foot walk pace


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) [ Time Frame: Baseline to 6 months ]
    Change in HbA1c measured over the study period

  2. Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) [ Time Frame: Baseline to 6 months ]
    For PROMIS measures, higher scores equals more of the concept being measured (e.g., more Fatigue, more Physical Function). Thus a score of 60 is one standard deviation above the average referenced population. This could be a desirable or undesirable outcome, depending upon the concept being measured.

  3. Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) [ Time Frame: Baseline to 6 months ]
    The study team will administer the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB)69 to assess three lower extremity tasks; 1) standing balance (ability to stand with the feet together in side-by-side, semi-and full-tandem positions for 10 seconds each); 2) a 4-meter walk to assess usual gait speed; 3) time to complete 5 repeated chair stand. Each of the 3 performance measures is assigned a score ranging from 0 (inability to perform the task) to 4 (the highest level of performance) and summed to create a score ranging from 0 to 12 (best). The SPPB is sensitive to change over time
