Treatment and study plan

Scorecard

Behavioral

Points were assigned for blood pressure, HbA1c level, LDL-cholesterol level, aspirin use and exercise level.

Control

Behavioral

Standard of care for diabetes subjects

Primary outcomes

  1. Change in total score

    Time frame: 9 months

    The total score was calculated by points assigned to variables (systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, HbA1c, aspirin usage and daily exercise). The maximal score of 100 corresponds to all variables at target. Fewer points were assigned to higher blood pressure, worse HbA1c levels, less exercise, etc.

Secondary outcomes

  1. LDL-cholesterol

    Time frame: 9 months

  2. HbA1c

    Time frame: 9 months

    Measure of glycemic control
