Development of Self-Regulation in Individuals With Type 2 Diabetes

Summary

The purpose of this investigation is to conduct a 12-week study to compare the effects of a self-regulation intervention (SR), in which participants will self-monitor their blood glucose (BG) and adjust dietary intake and physical activity through the use of current dietary and physical activity guidelines to help regulate their BG, to an education and self-monitoring only intervention (SM), on blood glucose, self-efficacy, and diabetes self-management activities.

Conditions

• Type 2 Diabetes

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Dietary

All participants in the investigation will receive a standard 12-week behavioral intervention with seven 30-45 minute phone interventions and education sessions. The intervention includes a reduced caloric prescription (1200-1500 kcal/day),fat gram prescription (30% or less kcals from fat) and carbohydrate gram prescription (150-190 grams).

BEHAVIORAL

Physical Activity

There is a physical Activity of 150 minutes/week of moderate-intense physical activity.

BEHAVIORAL

Self-Regulatory Approaches

Participants in this arm will receive extensive feedback based on their self-monitoring diary in which the researcher will be reinforced in areas that they are doing well in regarding their blood glucose and also assist in problem solving in areas that need improvement.
