| Abstract: | Health coaching is defined as health education, promotion, and support by a professional to enhance the well-being of individuals and support the attainment of health-related goals. However, health coaching has not been tested in the community health care setting for people living with type 2 diabetes. The purpose of this study is to determine whether diabetes health coaching in adults with type 2 diabetes in the community health care setting improves diabetes control, self-care behaviours, and quality of life. The implications of this study may inform health care providers towards a novel strategy to further complement and enhance support services for individuals living with type 2 diabetes. |
