Abstract
Implementation of health care coaching into a treatment plan for T2DM low income/underserved patients may address barriers to managing their overall care (i.e. sociocultural factors, financial inaccessibility). Health care coaches are individuals who are involved in the chronic disease management of a patient that function as a source of support and to keep patients accountable for their decisions in overall management of their chronic disease. They play a vital role in empowering patients to take control of their health through education by establishing goals and helping patients navigate their current lifestyle in order to reach these goals.
