The primary outcome of the study was A1C level, and secondary outcomes included an array of psychobehavioral variables. Using analysis of covariance, the findings support that the proposed intervention was effective in significantly lowering A1C and fasting glucose and also in improving psychosocial outcomes in the sample. Specifically, the amount of reduction in A1C among intervention group participants was 1.19% a...Continue Reading
