a
For participants born outside the United States.
b
Includes only patients eligible for the study on this measure (158 at baseline, and 103 at 24 months for HbA1c; 192 at baseline and 130 at 24 months for SBP; 218 at baseline, and 141 at 24 months for LDL).
Note: We found no significant differences between health coaching and usual care groups at 24 months.
