An estimated one third of American adults have prediabetes; over 30 million have type 2 diabetes mellitus. Health and wellness coaching is an emerging tool for preventing and treating chronic disease. Mastering Diabetes (MD) promotes a low-fat, plant-based, whole-food diet, utilizing online education, day-to-day accountability and support, and video conferencing. This pilot study provides a retrospective view of the effectiveness of MD to treat diabetes. Current and former clients of MD were invited to participate in a survey. On completion of the online consent, subjects were asked a series of questions in a REDCap-based survey: age, gender, enrollment date in MD, changes in weight, HbA1c, medication use, overall health, and current level of adherence to achieved changes. Overall, 253 (8.9%) participants responded to the survey; 80.6% were females, mean age was 56 years. Most of those responding (78.4%, P &lt; .001) reported weight loss; 68.8% ( P &lt; .001) reported decreased HbA1c; 52.4% reported decreased medication use; 86.8% reported continued health improvement since having participated in MD; and 83.5% found the online program very helpful. This study demonstrated improvement in HbA1c and weight in participants in an online health and wellness coaching. Study limitations prevent drawing generalizable conclusions; further prospective evaluation is needed.
