Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Glycosylated hemoglobin measured in a sample of peripheral blood at the beginning and after 14 weeks of follow-up

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Self-management capacity, mainly focused on aspects related to diet, physical activity and therapeutic adherence, measured using DSMQ-R and Diabetes Self-Care Activities (DSCA) at the beginning and after 14 weeks of follow-up 2. Glycemic variability measured by continuous glucose monitoring (Freestyle Libre 3) during 14 weeks of follow-up 3. Weight and body composition: BMI, fat mass, skeletal muscle mass measured with Tanita BC-545 at the beginning and after 14 weeks of follow-up 4. The presence of frailty and whether the condition changes after the intervention, measured using Fried test before and after 14 weeks of follow-up 5. The presence of obesity and whether this condition changes after the intervention, measured using the WHO classification of obesity, changes in percentages by class before and after 14 weeks of follow-up 6. The usefulness of using devices (wearables) in the process of self-management of the disease, assessed using the System Usability Scale (SUS) and the mHealth App Usability Questionnaire (MAUQ) at the beginning and after 14 weeks of follow-up
