Participants' most albumin-to-creatinine ratio will be abstracted from participants' electronic medical record.

Participants' most recent blood pressure measurement will be abstracted from participants' electronic medical record and will be used to calculate the participants' mean arterial pressure (MAP) using the following formula: MAP = diastolic pressure + 1/3(systolic pressure - diastolic pressure).

The Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activity (SDSCA) is a 10-item multidimensional instrument to assess levels of diabetes self-care across five domains: general diet (2 items), specific diet (2 items), exercise (2 items), foot care (2 items), and blood-glucose testing (2 items). The general diet subscale is used to assess general diet adherence. The instrument is based on the self-reported days completing recommended activities during the past 7 days. An example item includes "How many of the last SEVEN DAYS have you followed a healthful eating plan?" The general diet subscale score is the mean number of days for the 2 items in the subscale. The score range is from 0 days (worst) to 7 days (best).

The Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activity (SDSCA) is a 10-item multidimensional instrument to assess levels of diabetes self-care across five domains: general diet (2 items), specific diet (2 items), exercise (2 items), foot care (2 items), and blood-glucose testing (2 items). The exercise subscale is used to assess exercise adherence. The instrument is based on the self-reported days completing recommended activities during the past 7 days. An example item includes "On how many of the last SEVEN DAYS did you participate in at least 30 minutes of physical activity?" The exercise subscale score is the mean number of days for the 2 items in the subscale. The score range is from 0 days (worst) to 7 days (best).

The Adherence to Refills and Medications Scale-Diabetes (ARMS-D) is a reliable and valid measure of diabetes medication adherence. The 11-item ARMS-D has good internal consistency reliability (α=0.86). Responses range from 1="none of the time" to 4="all of the time," and are summed to produce an overall adherence score ranging from 12-48, with higher scores representing more problems with medication adherence.

The Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activity (SDSCA) is a 10-item multidimensional instrument to assess levels of diabetes self-care across five domains: general diet (2 items), specific diet (2 items), exercise (2 items), foot care (2 items), and blood-glucose testing (2 items). The blood-glucose testing subscale is used to assess self-monitoring of blood glucose adherence. The instrument is based on the self-reported days completing recommended activities during the past 7 days. An example item includes "On how many of the last SEVEN DAYS did you test your blood sugar?" The blood-glucose testing subscale is the mean number of days for the 2 items in the subscale. The score range is from 0 days (worst) to 7 days (best).

The usability of the patient portal (Epic's MyChart) will be assessed using the System Usability Scale (SUS). The SUS is a valid measure of usability and assesses users' perceptions of ease of use, likability of the interface, and overall satisfaction using a 5- point Likert scale (strongly disagree to strongly agree). The ten items are scored on a five-point Likert scale. The item scores are summed and then converted to a score ranging from 0 (worst) to 100 (best). Based on prior research, a score above 68 would be above average and a score of 85 or above suggests excellent usability.
