Summary

Small Steps for Big Changes (SSBC) is a diet and exercise counselling program that significantly reduces the risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes (T2D). In partnership with YMCAs in Canada spanning 8 provinces, the aim of this study is to scale-up program delivery and evaluate the implementation and effectiveness of SSBC. To evaluate implementation, the number of staff trained/patients enrolled, attendance, sessions delivered as planned, delivery costs, and number of sites continuing to deliver the program will be examined. To evaluate program effectiveness, changes in patient health (e.g., T2D status, blood glucose, weight, exercise, diet) will be measured over 2 years following program completion.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Behavioural: Small Steps for Big Changes Diabetes Prevention Program

The 4-week behaviour change program will introduce participants to a regular healthy lifestyle including exercise and dietary changes for reducing sugar intake, reducing refined/processed carbohydrate intake, increasing vegetable consumption. The 4-week program will include six supervised exercise sessions and three exercise sessions performed independently (e.g., at home or outside of the YMCA). The supervised session will include brief behavioural counselling sessions that teach participants self-regulatory skills to promote independence and long-term adherence to exercising and dietary changes.
