Intervention
Highest risk pre-diabetic patients Lifestyle Intervention: The lifestyle intervention consists of a series of workshops adapted from the East Harlem Partnerships for Diabetes Prevention that discuss diabetes prevention, finding and affording healthy foods, label reading, physical activity, planning a healthy plate, making traditional foods healthy and portion control. The newly launched East Harlem Diabetes Prevention (EHDP) project's mobile app, iHEED will be used by intervention participants to help reinforce the content they learn during the workshop series. Metformin: At 6 months, intervention participants who have not been able to lose weight or bring their HbA1c below the high risk range of 6% (determined by point-of-care testing) will have Metformin prescribed by their provider. Metformin will be prescribed at 500mg twice a day. If no change is seen at 12 months follow up, the dose will be increased to 850mg twice a day.

Timeframe: 6 months

Population: These data were not collected.

The Diabetes Risk Score has been designed to be a screening tool for identifying high-risk subjects in the population and for increasing awareness of the modifiable risk factors and healthy lifestyle. The score ranges from 0-20, with a higher score indicating higher risk.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 6 months

Population: Matched cases with valid data.

The Self-efficacy survey is an excerpt from the 43-item Risk Perception Survey for Developing Diabetes, designed for people at high risk for developing diabetes. It measures perceived comparative and environmental risk for developing diabetes. Scoring for the self-efficacy questions is done by an average and ranges from 1 to 4, with a higher score indicating more perceived risk.
