Would you be interested in joining a research study that is trying to help you and your partner increase your physical activity?

Diabetes Canada

McGill University Health Centre

Are You Eligible?

We're looking for couples where at least one partner meets the following criteria:

🩺

Type 2 Diabetes

Do you have Type 2 diabetes?

🎈

Age 45 or Older

Are you 45 years of age or older?

🏙️

Montreal Area

Do you live in the Montreal area?

What Does This Study Involve?

For this study, you and your partner will have a few evaluations including blood tests, blood pressure, height, weight, waist, and hip measures. These evaluations will happen at the beginning and end of the 6 month study period. You and your partner will also have some online forms to fill.

Like a flip of a coin, a computer program will randomly place you into one of two groups

1) Usual care

2) Couples-based coaching sessions

Study Groups

📱

Group 1: Step Counting Alone

You and your partner will:

Do the evaluations
Use a step counter device
Receive weekly step targets
Work together to become more active

👥

Group 2: Step Counting with Coaching

You and your partner will:

Do the evaluations
Use a step counter device
Receive weekly step targets
Work together to become more active
Participate in coaching sessions to improve collaboration and communication

Our Goal

We will compare the two groups to figure out the best way to increase steps for both partners and make blood sugars better for the person with Type 2 diabetes.

Did You Know?

Type 2 diabetes in one partner increases the chances of diabetes in the other. This is likely because couples often share behaviours and circumstances that affect health and behaviours.
