Interventions and Outcome Measures

Arms

other: MNT Usual Care (Control)

Participants in the control group will receive usual diabetes MNT including reassessment, intervention, treatment recommendations.

experimental: App-Enhanced MNT

Participants assigned to the intervention group will be encouraged to use the app as frequently as they prefer (with minimum of 2 x week) for 6 months. Information that will be tracked includes food intake by photos and/or text, physical activity, glucose levels, and insulin dosing if applicable. Additional patient-generated health data to include in the app will be based on the participant's diabetes treatment plan and determined in collaboration with the RDN. The RDN will review each participants data from the Undermyfork Care as needed between visits (e.g. patient initiated question) and will message or call the participant to encourage engagement if data input is lacking. At each follow up visit, the RDN will review the participants data through Undermyfork Care to help make informed treatment recommendations and troubleshooting the use of the app if needed.
