Background: Older adults with Type 2 diabetes (T2D) are more likely to be frail, which increases the risk for disability and mortality.  Objectives:  To determine the feasibility of a behavioral lifestyle intervention, enhanced with mobile health technology for self-monitoring of diet and activity, to improve frailty in overweight/obese older adults (≥65 years) diagnosed with T2D.  Design, Setting, and Participants:  Single arm, 6-month study of a behavioral lifestyle intervention in 20 overweight/obese (BMI&gt;25) older adults (≥ 65 years) with self-reported T2D diagnosis who owned a smartphone.  A Fitbit tracker was provided to all participants for self-monitoring of diet and physical activity.  Our primary outcome of feasibility was measured by session attendance, adherence to Fitbit usage to self-monitor diet and physical activity, and study retention. Secondary outcomes included the preliminary efficacy of the intervention on frailty, physical function, quality of life, and T2D-related outcomes.   Results: Eighteen participants completed the study.  The mean age was 71.5 (SD ± 5.3) years, 56% were female, and half were Hispanic.  At baseline, 13 (72%) were pre-frail, 4 (22%) were frail, and 1 (6%) were non-frail.  At follow-up, frailty scores improved significantly from 1.61 ± 1.15 to 0.94 ± 0.94 (p=0.01) and bodyweight improved from 205.66 ± 45.52 lbs. to 198.33 ± 43.6 lbs. (p=&lt;0.001). Conclusion: This study provides evidence for the feasibility of a behavioral lifestyle intervention in overweight/obese older adults with T2D and preliminary results support its potential efficacy in improving frailty score.
