Participants randomized to the control arm will receive an in-person or virtual visit with a research study team member, who will review the NDEP print materials with the patient and measure their weight. The same amount of time is spent with patients in the control and intervention group. Though we describe the control group as receiving “usual care,” their receipt of diabetes prevention materials and meeting with a research study team member is actually above what is typically considered usual care, since they are also presumably receiving prediabetes counseling from the PCP or physician who ordered the labs that resulted in a prediabetes diagnosis. It is primarily the responsibility of each participant’s ordering clinician to discuss prediabetes management (including lifestyle change and/or metformin) with their patient. Our study team’s interactions with the control group are meant to supplement that information.
