Virta Intervention in CommuniTies in ColORado (VICTOR) Pilot Study to Improve Diabetes and Cardiovascular Risk in Rural Communities - Primary Results
Authors' conclusion
Combining a CHW program with referral to CCI did not result in greater A1c reduction, but led to improvements in A1c, weight, and medication burden in individuals with T2D in a rural setting.
Study context
- Population
- Adults with T2D in the rural Colorado Heart Healthy Solutions (CHHS) program, on ≥1 antihyperglycemic medication, HbA1c ≥7.5%, BMI ≥25 kg/m²; mean age 59.6 years, BMI 34.4 kg/m², HbA1c 8.9% at baselineevaluable data
- Participants
- 51 adults
- Comparison
- Referral to digital continuous care intervention plus CHHS vs CHHS alone
- Primary endpoint
- Change in HbA1c from baseline
- Follow-up
- End of phase 1 (3 months)
Methodological detailscluster-randomized, open-label, multisite, pilot

As reported in the abstract
| Group | Value | P (within group) |
|---|---|---|
| CHHS | −1.2 % | P < .001 |
| Continuous care intervention (CCI)+CHHS | −1.5 % | P < .001 |

P (within group)
CHHSP < .001
Continuous care intervention (CCI)+CHHSP < .001
Further findings
| Outcome | P value |
|---|---|
| ≥5% weight lossHigher proportion with CCI+CHHS | P < 0.05 |
| Net decrease in number and/or dose of antihyperglycemic medicationsHigher proportion with CCI+CHHS | P < 0.05 |
