Study Arms (2)

Usual Care

NO INTERVENTION

Participants will receive their usual care for the first year of their enrollment in the study. They will receive a referral to a diabetes educator and a clinical pharmacist, a one-page sheet of contact information for their healthcare providers, and paper-based, low-literacy diabetes information. After one year, they will change to the mDAS intervention arm for one year.

mHealth for Diabetes Adherence Support

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants will receive in-person support from a health coach and a clinical pharmacist with whom they will meet with regularly via videoconference. After one year, participants who have completed the mDAS intervention will be monitored for an additional year with usual care to evaluate maintenance.

Behavioral: mHealth for Diabetes Adherence Support

Interventions

Participants will be paired with a health coach who will provide ongoing support and resources in medication and lifestyle adherence and diabetes self-management. The health coach will perform regular home visits, telephone support and tailored text-messages based on the participant's preferences and needs. They will help assess barriers to adherence and use motivational interviewing to help patients set goals and create action plans. They will also facilitate videoconferences with an assigned clinical pharmacist who will provide consultation on medication use, reconciliation and adherence, identify therapeutic goals and formulate an approved plan of care.
