Abstract:	The purpose of this project is to evaluate the longitudinal effects of a web-based geriatric diabetes decision support tool that encourages the personalization of glucose control targets with better prognostic information and patient engagement. Seventy-five patients and their physicians will interact with the support tool during two clinical encounters. The study will help to plan for a long term clinical trial to study the health effects of personalized decision support.
