a

The “unknown” category denotes a response of “I don’t know” at Baseline; at Post Intervention, the vast majority of the “unknown” (n=191) are participants who did not complete the surveys.

b

Morisky Medication Adherence survey with possible range 0-4, with 4 being most adherent to medication.

c

Data from the Summary of Diabetes Self Care Activities (SDSCA) survey.
