Detailed Summary
This is a pilot randomized controlled trial intervention to improve lifestyle behaviors (physical activity and health diet) for Filipino Americans with type 2 diabetes on metformin.

Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
This is a 3-month lifestyle intervention program promoting weight loss through physical activity and health diet using a mobile health application (app), pedometer to track daily step-counts, and social networking (in-person and virtual social networking through Facebook) to reduce risks for metabolic syndrome in Filipino Americans with type 2 diabetes on metformin. Subjects will be asked: 1) to use a mobile app diary every day to input their weight, and calories (food and drink intake) and 2) wear a pedometer everyday to monitor their physical activity (step-counts).
This is a 3-month active control using a pedometer only without any education related to wt loss, physical activity, health eating, or tracking healthy behaviors
