Summary

This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate an 8-week intervention designed to reduce sedentary behavior (SB) in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) using wearable technology. The intervention involves the use of Fitbit devices to prompt standing/walking breaks, a smart water bottle to encourage hydration-related movement, and tailored text messages for behavior reinforcement. Participants will be assessed at baseline and post-intervention for changes in SB, light physical activity, cardiometabolic markers, and patient-centered outcomes. The study seeks to determine the intervention's acceptability and preliminary efficacy in reducing SB and improving health outcomes in T2D patients.

The intervention group will target a 120 minute per day reduction in sedentary behavior using an objective activity monitor and mHealth. Outcomes will be measured at baseline and post-intervention.
Group II: Control Group - Standard CareActive Control1 Intervention
