Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this project is to increase access to diabetes care and education for adults aged 40-64 years old who are diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and are unable to attend education and support classes due to their work situation. This project will use an established, well-known program for Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support (DSMES) and combine it with Tai Chi Easy (TCE)™ to enhance physical health, psychological health, and health behaviors. Participants will be asked to attend 45 minutes of DSMES and 45 min of TCE twice a week for 6 weeks. All classes will be recorded and available online and can viewed at a time when it is most convenient to accommodate working adults. Participants will be asked to complete survey questionnaires online, at the beginning and end of the program; and have a smart phone to connect with a smart ring during the 6-week DSMES+TCE program. After the program is done, participants will be asked to return the smart ring. Upon receipt of the smart ring, they will receive a give a gift card to thank them for their participation in the program.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Study Feasibility: Retention
Time Frame: pre and post intervention at 6-weeks
number of participants that completed all aspects of the study (data collection pre-post intervention and study intervention) Goal: 80% study retention
Study Feasibility: Intervention acceptability
Time Frame: post-intervention at 6-weeks
The Acceptability of Intervention Measure (AIM) is brief and contains 4-items using a 5-point Likert scale (possible scores 4-20), with higher scores indicating greater acceptability of the intervention. Adequate reliability and validity have been reported. Benchmark: at least 75% intervention acceptability, across sites.
Study Feasibility: Recruitment
Time Frame: screening pre-intervention
the proportion of respondents who remained interested in the study after information and screening. Goal: recruit 10 participants per month for 3 months.
Study Feasibility: Intervention feasibility
Time Frame: post-intervention at 6-weeks
The Feasibility of Intervention Measure (FIM) is brief and contains 4-items using a 5-point Likert scale (possible scores 4-20), with higher scores indicating greater feasibility of the intervention. Adequate reliability and validity have been reported. Benchmark: at least 75% intervention feasibility, across sites.
Study Feasibility: Intervention appropriateness
Time Frame: post-intervention at 6-weeks
The Intervention Appropriateness Measure (IAM) is brief and contains 4-items using a 5-point Likert scale (possible scores 4-20), with higher scores indicating greater appropriateness of the intervention. Adequate reliability and validity have been reported. Benchmark: at least 75% intervention appropriateness, across sites.
Study Feasibility: Intervention safety
Time Frame: during the 6-week intervention
number of adverse events during the intervention. Goal: no safety issues or adverse events
