Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Memory, Attention, and Problem Solving Skills for DiabetesExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
The intervention is composed of 4 small-group webinar classes and home-based individual online cognitive skills practice over 8 weeks. Classes 1 & 2 will focus on common cognitive problems in T2DM and strategies to improve cognitive skills. Classes 3 & 4 focus on lifestyle changes to support cognitive functioning and DM-SM skills. The computer-training component uses a model for cognitive training that adapts to the user through an integrated hierarchical structure. The BrainHQ website houses the interactive program that runs on standard web browsers. Each participant will be registered by the project staff using anonymous ID numbers that will allow unlimited access during the study. The website stores each session completed, and participants can start subsequent sessions wherever they stopped the last time logged on. The intervention group will be asked to practice 20 minutes, 7 days a week.
Group II: Brain Games OnlyActive Control1 Intervention
An active control group will be used. The differing variable between the two groups is the class sessions. Those randomized to the control group will only receive a link to the BrainHQ games site. A specific amount of practice will not be prescribed, but the frequency and duration of participant's practice will be obtained from BrainHQ. Participants will receive a weekly phone call to maintain connection to the study. Data collection will be on the same schedule as the intervention group.
