Experimental: Routine Care + Glucose Excursion Minimization (RC+GEM)
Participants will actively work with their primary care provider and receive personalized routine care (RC). In addition, participants will receive GEM, an individualized, person-centered, empowerment program, not a behavior modification program. GEM provides individuals with personally relevant information to make choices that will help them achieve their diabetes goals. It focuses on techniques – eating low glycemic load foods, increasing moderate and vigorous exercise, and monitoring blood glucose (BG) to educate individuals about the impact of high glycemic load nutrients and vigorous exercise. The emphasis is on minimizing glucose excursions by any practical means, e.g., nutrient selection, timing and combinations of nutrient intake, time restricted eating, eating carbohydrates after protein and fat, post prandial physical activity, whatever is personally affirmed by BG feedback.
Behavioral: Routine Care + Glycemic Excursion Minimization (RC+GEM)
In addition to receiving routine care, participants will receive GEM, a structured, self-directed, and personalized program that will allow participants with pre-diabetes to improve their metabolic status by illustrating the effects of their routine food and physical activity choices on their blood glucose levels and variability.
