Background  Translation of diabetes self-management education and support (DSMES) into a digital format can improve access, but few digital programs have demonstrated outcomes using rigorous evaluation metrics.    Objective  The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of a digital DSMES program on hemoglobin A 1c  (HbA 1c ) for people with type 2 diabetes.    Methods  A single-arm, nonrandomized trial was performed to evaluate a digital DSMES program that includes remote monitoring and lifestyle change, in addition to comprehensive diabetes education staffed by a diabetes specialist. A sample of 195 participants were recruited using an online research platform (Achievement Studies, Evidation Health Inc). The primary outcome was change in laboratory-tested HbA 1c  from baseline to 4 months, and secondary outcomes included change in lipids, diabetes distress, and medication adherence.    Results  At baseline, participants had a mean HbA 1c  of 8.9% (SD 1.9) and mean BMI of 37.5 kg/m 2  (SD 8.3). The average age was 45.1 years (SD 8.9), 70% were women, and 67% were White. At 4-month follow up, the HbA 1c  decreased by 0.8% ( P <.001, 95% CI –1.1 to –0.5) for the total population and decreased by 1.4% ( P <.001, 95% CI –1.8 to –0.9) for those with an HbA 1c  of >9.0% at baseline. Diabetes distress and medication adherence were also significantly improved between baseline and follow up.    Conclusions  This study provides early evidence that a digitally enhanced DSMES program improves HbA 1c  and disease self-management outcomes.
