Rates of session attendance were moderate in a lifestyle program for youth with type 2 diabetes, but levels of self-monitoring, considered a key lifestyle change behavior, were low. Glycemic control was not significantly associated with session attendance but reductions in percent overweight were. Given the salience of program attendance and self-monitoring to lifestyle weight management established in other populations, future research is needed to understand, develop, and promote strategies and interventions targeting weight loss to achieve improved glycemic control in youth diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.
