Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Current primary outcome measures as of 04/11/2021: 1. Recruitment rate, measured as the proportion of the recruitment target (n = 30) achieved at 5 months from the start of recruitment 2. Attrition measured as the proportion of missing outcomes data at the end of the recruitment period (5 months from the start of recruitment) for physiological and self-reported data items 3. Intervention delivery rate recorded as the proportion of planned sessions delivered (measured by the number of completed intervention session logs per participant within 15 weeks of the first intervention session) Previous primary outcome measures: 1. Recruitment rate recorded as the number of eligible participants who consent to participate in the study by 5 months 2. Attrition rate recorded as the number of participants who consent to participate that remain in the study until the end of follow up at 4 months 3. Intervention delivery rate recorded as the number of intervention sessions delivered to participants completing the study

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Feasibility of data collection. Collected at baseline only (unless otherwise indicated): 1. HbA1c - blood test (results recorded as mmol/mol and %) 2. Cholesterol - biochemical lipid profile (blood test including total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides all recorded as mmol/L) 3. Haemoglobin - blood test (results recorded in g/L) 4. Body Mass Index (BMI) (kg/m²) 5. Waist circumference (cm) 6. Blood pressure (mmHg) 7. Smoking status (self report - yes/no/never) 8. Urinary albumin to creatinine ratio (from medical records) 9. Physical activity (International Physical Activity Questionnaire [IPAQ] and wrist-worn accelerometers worn for seven days) 10. Comorbidities (from medical records) 11. Blood glucose level (measured through continuous glucose monitoring for 14 days) 12. Psychological health (psychiatric symptoms: Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale [BPRS]; depressive symptom severity: Patient Health Questionnaire-0 [PHQ-9]) 13. Diabetes measures (diabetes distress: Problem Areas In Diabetes [PAID] scale; summary of diabetes self-care activities: Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities [SDSCA] measure; insulin use (self report - yes/no); diabetes complications (from medical records) 14. Health related quality of life (EQ-5D-5L) 15. Health economic outcomes (health resource use: from medical records) 16. Mechanisms of Action (MoA: questionnaires at baseline and intervention end [16 weeks])
