Telemedicine for Reach, Education, Access, and Treatment for Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support
Sponsor: University of Pittsburgh
Summary
Emerging adults with type 1 diabetes are a vulnerable population. While diabetes self-management and education is known to offer opportunities to develop self-management skills required to achieve and maintain short- and long-term diabetes outcomes, emerging adults are reported to have poor clinic attendance and in turn low participation in diabetes self-management education and support services. This pilot study aims to test a novel approach to diabetes self-management education and support that incorporates technological and applied learning-driven methods delivered through group telemedicine visits to improve emerging adults engagement in diabetes self-management education and support with the ultimate goal of improving diabetes outcomes.

TREAT-ED Virtual Group Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support
TREAT-ED is an innovative group telehealth delivery model designed to engage emerging adults in DSMES services. TREAT-ED sessions are facilitated by a Diabetes Care and Education Specialist and include content centered around the ADCES7 Self-Care Behaviors and applied learning strategies, e.g., case scenarios integrating glucose monitoring, and group discussions to drive knowledge transfer and skill development for diabetes self-care behaviors within the context of issues that are salient to the target population.
