Diabetes Prevention Intervention
"* Educational sessions with emphasis on physical activity, healthy cultural diets, and strategies to promote positive behavioral changes.~* Specific goals set for weight loss and physical activities~* Fitbits provided for monitoring physical activity goals~* Weekly review of and feedback on effects of physical activity (Fitbits) and dietary changes (checklists)~* 15 biweekly support group sessions plus 3 booster sessions every 6 months thereafter~Note: In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, a remote version of the intervention was designed to provide the program remotely instead of via the usual in-person group format. This alternative strategy is designed to replace the biweekly support groups, which in the past focused on similar content, i.e., reviewing key educational content, demonstrations of healthy Mexican American recipes."
Enhanced Usual Care
"* Monitoring by existing personal physicians~* Feedback on lab results~* Referrals to physicians or clinics, if needed~* Diabetes prevention educational materials"
