The purpose of this study is to explore strategies to effectively implement senior-center-based multilevel lifestyle interventions adapted from evidence-based lifestyle interventions to promote physical function and quality of life in diverse older adults with Type 2 Diabetes (T2D).
Aim 1: Work with community stakeholders including individuals with T2D, family members, and senior center staff to adapt evidence-based lifestyle interventions, and develop implementation strategies.
Aim 2: Conduct a senior-center-based 6-month pre- and post-pilot study and collect recruitment, enrollment, retention rate, fidelity, program satisfaction and experience, and stakeholder acceptance using quantitative and qualitative data.
Aim 3: Assess the preliminary health-related responses to the intervention in older adults with T2D in the 6-month trial.

Exclusion Criteria:
The study team will assess improvements in physical function assessed by the short physical performance battery and other health-related measures (diabetes knowledge, self-efficacy, social support, physical activity, diet consumption, HbA1c, and quality of life).
Other: Adapted Look Ahead Lifestyle Intervention
Participants will be educated about improving healthy lifestyles involving physical activity and healthy eating to improve physical function and improve glycemic control.
Also known as: Multilevel Lifestyle Intervention
Feasibility of conducting study
Feasibility refers to how feasible to conduct the study. In this study, feasibility will be assessed by data such as participant recruitment, enrollment, education session attendance, and retention rate.
Time frame: Baseline, 3, 6, and 12 months
Acceptability
Acceptability refers to how well an intervention will be received by the target population and the extent to which an intervention might meet the needs of the target population. Acceptability will be assessed through qualitative interview with participants to explore their experience, and perceptions with the intervention.
Time frame: Baseline, 3, 6, and 12 months
Body Weight
Measured in pounds with participant in light clothes and without shoes
Time frame: Baseline, 3, 6, and 12 months
Systolic Blood Pressure
Sitting blood pressure will be measured after at least five minutes of rest.
Time frame: Baseline, 3, 6, and 12 months
Diastolic Blood Pressure
Sitting blood pressure will be measured after at least five minutes of rest.
Time frame: Baseline, 3, 6, and 12 months
Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB)
The SPPB is a series of physical tests used to assess a person's lower extremity function. SPPB scores range from zero to 12 possible points. A higher score indicated better physical performance.
Time frame: Baseline, 3, 6, and 12 months
Grip Strength
Grip strength will be measured in both hands, and the dominant hand will be recorded.
Time frame: Baseline, 3, 6, and 12 months
Glycated Hemoglobin (HbA1c)
HbA1c is a blood test that is used to assess and monitor the average level of glucose over the past two to three months.
Time frame: Baseline, 3, 6, and 12 months
Lipid profile
It is a blood test that measures the levels of fats and fatty substances in the blood. The following measurements in the profile will be assessed: cholesterol, LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol, HDL (high-density lipoprotein) cholesterol, and triglycerides.
Time frame: Baseline, 3, 6, and 12 months
IPAQ-12
This scale contains 12 items that are a self-reported measure of physical activity. Scores are typically expressed in minutes per week. Higher scores indicate higher levels of physical activity, whereas lower scores suggest sedentary or low activity levels.
Time frame: Baseline, 3, 6, and 12 months
MoCA
MoCA is a 30-point questionnaire that tests various cognitive domains, including memory, attention, language, abstraction, executive functions, visual skills, calculation, and orientation. The score ranges from 0-30, and higher score indicates better cognitive function.
Time frame: Baseline, 3, 6, and 12 months
Plan to share: Yes — The deidentified quantitative data from the 15 participants such as demographics and clinical data could be shared upon request from the applicant after the study findings have been published in peer-reviewed journals. The biospecimen collected at the senior center will be transported to the School of Nursing Biobehavioral Laboratory by the laboratory staff or the PI in a dry ice container on the same day of data collection.
