Purpose

Our goal is to test the implementation of behavioral lifestyle interventions to promote physical activity and dietary modifications will help older adults with T2D to improve frailty and manage type 2 diabetes, which may eventually lead to healthy aging. Such intervention would include the use of self-monitoring of diet and physical activity.
