(F02A) Examining the Efficacy of Digital Diabetes Coaching for Young Adults with Early-Onset T2D

Despite the growing prevalence of early-onset T2D among digital natives, evidence from randomized trials of digital diabetes coaching remains limited, and optimal development strategies are unclear. Therefore, an age-specific digital diabetes coaching intervention, the 3IM program, was developed for adults with early-onset T2D based on two complementary guiding principles: 3Is (Interest, Intimacy, Interaction) and 3Ms (Monitoring, Measurement, Maximization).
This session will present findings on the preliminary efficacy of a 12-week age-specific digital diabetes coaching intervention.
Attendees will learn about the preliminary efficacy of the 12-week 3IM intervention delivered through digital technology. The session will also describe how an interdisciplinary team collaborated to develop and implement an evidence-based digital diabetes coaching program.
This presentation will outline future research directions to provide patient-centered support for individuals with early-onset T2D by optimizing digital health strategies.
