Interventions

Diabetes-800 is a digital, remote behaviour change intervention, which provides personal 1 to 1 support and expert advice delivered either over the phone or via the Oviva App. . The programme is 12 mo

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Measured at baseline and 24 months: 1. Weight (measured by BodyTrace weight scale) 2. HbA1c (by venous sample collected at GP practice)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Weight (measured by BodyTrace weight scale) and HbA1c (by venous sample collected at GP practice) at baseline and 12 months 2. Blood pressure (measured at GP practice) at baseline, 12 and 24 months 3. Cholesterol (measured at GP practice) at baseline, 12 and 24 months 4. Physical activity (measured using a Fitbit) at baseline, 12 and 24 months 5. Quality of life (measured by EQ-5D) at baseline, 12 and 24 months 6. Participant experience surveys at baseline, 12 and 24 months 7. Diabetes medications (type and dose) at baseline, 12 and 24 months 8. Blood pressure medications (type and dose) at baseline, 12 and 24 months 9. We will also assess the participant experience by using the NHS Friends & Family Test by standardised survey, and ask participants why they agreed or declined to take part in the initial assessment and discussion of the programme 10. The study will also involve an economic evaluation of the Diabetes-800 programme compared to the matched control group accessing usual care. The impact of Diabetes-800 on NHS costs will be estimated, and extrapolated over a 5-year time period, relative to usual care. Biomedical variables and prescribing data for the intervention group during the 2-year study period will be analysed, and compared with equivalent data from a control dataset of non-participating patients with type 2 diabetes in South London. This control dataset will be used to represent usual care Trajectories for prescribing and for biomedical variables such as HbA1c, weight, blood pressure and cholesterol for years 3-5 will be estimated for the intervention group and for usual care based on evidence from the clinical literature
