TAPESTRY With Health Connnectors for Diabetes Management

"Patients randomized to the intervention group will complete the Healthy Lifestyle App modules. Their results will create a report with a suggested list of tip sheets that patients, volunteers, and clinics will see.~Patients will also be encouraged to access the McMaster PHR in order to track their health, and communicate with volunteers or the clinic.~Volunteer health connectors will connect with patients at least weekly, by phone, McMaster PHR message, or in person (depending on patient preference). They will be motivating, providing tip sheets or other education, doing tech support, providing community resources, and building a volunteer-patient relationship with the client.~Clinicians will see and triage the reports, and may follow up on various aspects identified."

Patients randomized to the control group will receive usual care and upon the end of the intervention arm of the study will receive the TAPESTRY-HC-DM intervention as detailed in the intervention group.
