Abstract
Diabetes is a public health problem that is rapidly growing, and effective long-term self-management has been a challenge for the traditional medical model of education. The purpose of the present study was to determine whether a lifestyle management program delivered by trained community-based paraprofessionals could initiate positive behavior changes and improve glycemic control in participants with type 2 diabetes. Researchers in the Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition at Michigan State University collaborated with Michigan State University Extension (MSU-E) to develop, implement, and evaluate a ten-session program that encouraged diabetes self-management behaviors using motivational interviewing techniques.
