Exclusion Criteria:
South Asian (SA) adults with prediabetes and Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) that are 'information rich' and have variation in background characteristics will be identified. Dyads (spouses, parent/adolescent or young adult child, peers) will participate in a 16-week culturally-tailored, community-informed pre-post SMA intervention to improve health behaviors.
Behavioral: Healthy lifestyle Shared Medical Appointment (SMA) program
Social network-based, culturally-tailored healthy lifestyle SMA program for high risk SAs will be piloted to collect pre-post data on diet and exercise habits, and to determine feasibility and acceptability. Patients will participate in physician-led group visits every other week focused on improving dietary and exercise practices to reduce weight. Biometric measurements (weight, height, blood pressure) will be collected, point of care glucose and lipid testing will be done.
Participant perceptions of SMA program
Physician-participants interviews will be digitally audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim, with de-identified transcripts analyzed.
Time frame: 4 months
SMA program retention rate
Number of participants retained will be recorded and SMA retention rate will be calculated
Time frame: 4 months
Change in body mass index (BMI)
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a number representing person's weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in meters. A high BMI can be an indicator of high body fatness.
Time frame: Baseline, 4 months, and 12 months
Change in blood pressure
Blood pressure will be measured pre- and post- intervention
Time frame: Baseline, 4 months, and 12 months
Change in blood cholesterol level
Cholesterol level will be measured by blood test pre- and post- intervention
Time frame: Baseline, 4 months, and 12 months
Change in physical activity daily minutes
Daily minutes of moderate intensity exercise will be self reported by participants
Time frame: Baseline, 4 months, and 12 months
Change in step counts
Daily step counts (using wearable perdometer) will be recorded.
Time frame: Baseline, 4 months, and 12 months
Change in diet
Pre-post assessment of change in consumption will be done using food frequency questionnaire. It has 16 questions that assess dietary habits over the past week.
Time frame: Baseline, 4 months, and 12 months
