Brief Summary

This study proposes to introduce an outpatient Occupational Therapy (OT)-led diabetes intervention program. OTs with training in diabetes self-management modules that address physical, social, emotional, and systemic factors that influence health. Patients receiving outpatient OT services for development of diabetes self-management skills will be seen for approximately 8 forty five-minute to one-hour sessions over 6 months. OTs will communicate with other interdisciplinary care team members using Electronic Health Record (EHR) messaging, phone calls, and in-person communication as needed. There will be at minimum a monthly consult meeting with a doctor of psychology (Psy D), registered dietitian (RD), social worker (SW), and pharmacist (PharmD), and the primary care medical team will be provided with monthly progress notes. The investigators hypothesize that participants demonstrate improved blood sugar levels, improved ability to take medications as directed, increases in overall sense of physical, mental, and social health, and positive changes in their self-efficacy related to diabetes self-management. The investigators also hypothesize that OT visits will be reimbursed by insurers more than 50% of all billed visits.

OT Diabetes Self-Management Intervention

EXPERIMENTAL

The intervention is organized into five modules. Each participant receives an individually tailored combination of modules, and treatment activities within each module, as established through collaborative goal setting between the participant and OT during the initial evaluation. The five modules are: (1) Living with Diabetes-addressing gaps in the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively manage diabetes; (2) Access and Advocacy-strategies to collaborate and communicate with healthcare providers; (3) Activity and Health-analyzing daily habits and routines; (4) Social Support-strategies to address diabetes care in various social environments and to identify sources of support; (5) Emotional Well-Being-strategies to address stress, diabetes burnout, and depression.
