Reach, acceptability, and perceived success of a telehealth diabetes prevention program among racially and ethnically diverse patients with gestational diabetes: the gem cluster-randomized trial.
The purpose of this study was to describe overall and race/ethnicity-specific reach, acceptability, and perceived success from an effective telehealth diabetes prevention lifestyle program for patients with gestational diabetes mellitus, implemented in the Gestational Diabetes Effects on Moms (GEM) cluster-randomized controlled trial. An intervention of 13 telephone sessions and behavior change techniques (BCTs) in a healthcare system were tested by GEM. Survey respondents largely rated BCTs as very helpful. Black and White respondents reported more limited success reaching a healthy weight than Asian/Pacific Islander, Hispanic, and multiracial/other women. The researchers concluded that a telehealth diabetes prevention lifestyle program showed both reach and acceptability across racial/ethnic groups, and that similar interventions could encourage preventive care access and help reduce disparities in the risk for diabetes.

An international, mixed-methods study of the perceived intrusiveness of remote digital diabetes monitoring.
This paper describes an international online vignette-based survey to assess the relationship between remote digital monitoring (RDM) modalities for diabetes and intrusiveness in patients’ lives. The survey was conducted from February-June 2019 in 30 countries with 1010 participants. A total of 2680 vignette-assessments were completed with 52% on type 1 diabetes. Increased intrusiveness was associated with food monitoring compared with glucose- and PA-monitoring alone and permanent monitoring with real-time physician-generated feedback compared with monitoring for a week with feedback. Public-sector data handling was associated with decreased intrusiveness as compared with the private sector.
