Group Lifestyle Balance
The Group Lifestyle Balance (GLB) program is a self-management intervention that has been shown to result in weight-loss and reduce the risk for Type 2 diabetes through increased physical activity and healthy eating behaviors in the general population. The GLB is a direct adaptation of the Diabetes Prevention Program, both developed at the Diabetes Prevention and Support Center at the University of Pittsburgh. The GLB is designed for delivery in a group-based, community setting, and has resulted in weight-loss in a variety of settings, such as community centers, churches, worksites, and healthcare systems. The GLB curriculum used in this study has been adapted for people with stroke.
Usual Care
Participants randomized to the wait-list control group will receive usual care for 6 months before beginning the modified GLB program.
