| Abstract: | This quality improvement pilot project implemented a diabetes prevention program using physical activity trackers and human connection to increase physical activity (PA) and reduce the risk of diabetes among adults with prediabetes from a rural primary care clinic. The outcomes included PA steps, PA minutes, the achievement of self-established PA goals, hemoglobin A1C level, weight, and body mass index. During the 3 months of the project, PA steps significantly increased, and most participants reached self-established PA goals. Overall, the program outcomes were positive. Participants and health care team members reported additional benefits and drawbacks to the project, confirming the study’s feasibility. |
