Pilot feasibility and efficacy of a strategy to sustain A1C improvement among diverse adults with type 2 diabetes completing a diabetes care management program
Authors' conclusion
Among completers of a 3-month DCM program, a low intensity 9-month sustaining strategy maintained A1C under 8.0% (HEDIS (Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set) threshold for diabetes control) compared with controls for 15 months after completion of the initial DCM intervention.
