•Inclusion criteria required that patients were:
•1\. Over the age of 18
•2\. Fluent in spoken and written English
•3\. Had a formal classification of pre\-diabetes from a registered medical professional.
•The prediabetes inclusion criteria were based on World Health Organisation (WHO) criteria for pre\-diabetes classification. This requires patients to have an impaired fasting glucose (IFG between 6\.1 and 6\.9 mmol\-1 inclusive) and an impaired glucose tolerance (IGT 2 hour postprandial glucose concentration between 7\.8 and 11 mmol), and/or an HbA1c between 41 and 49\.

•1\. Cognitively impaired.
•2\. At risk of harm to/from themselves or others (i.e., suicidal/homicidal ideation).
•3\. Comorbid medical diagnosis or condition that is terminal and likely to be fatal within one year.
•4\. Already participating in a formal pre\-diabetes lifestyle education intervention.
•5\. Receiving psychiatric or psychological intervention at the time of recruitment or has a severe psychiatric disorder (e.g., schizophrenia).
•6\. Meets criteria for type 2 diabetes. Again, this is based on WHO criteria (i.e., IFG greater than or equal to 7mmol/l, and/or 2\-hour plasma glucose of greater than or equal to 11\.1 mmol/l and/or HbA1c of 50 mmol/l or greater).
