The purpose of this study is to determine whether diabetes health coaching in adults with type 2 diabetes in the community health care setting improves diabetes control, self-care behaviours and quality of life. The implications of this study may inform health care providers towards a novel strategy to further complement and enhance support services for individuals living with type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
Health coaching is defined as health education, promotion and support by a professional to enhance the well-being of individuals and support the obtainment of health-related goals. However, health coaching has not been tested in the community health care setting for people living with type 2 diabetes. The purpose of this study is to determine whether diabetes health coaching in adults with type 2 diabetes in the community health care setting improves diabetes control, self-care behaviours and quality of life. The implications of this study may inform health care providers towards a novel strategy to further complement and enhance support services for individuals living with type 2 diabetes.
