Participants enrolled in the intervention arm will be given a 6-month access period to the diabetes education application designed by the study team. The web site will offer videos related to a specific areas of education concerning diabetes self-management. To encourage compliance, participant users will receive weekly notifications from the application that will guide them through viewing all videos in the series. Participants will continue routine follow-up appointments with their primary care physicians during the study period. There will be no restrictions on starting or stopping medications during the study period.

Participants in the control arm will not have access to the Diabetes Application. They will continue follow-up appointments according to the standard of care with their primary care physician, diabetic educators, etc. There are no restrictions on starting or stopping medications for patients within the control arm.

The Diabetes education website application will contain informational videos for this protocol. The videos will include a welcome video and the categorical topics of Healthy Coping, Healthy Eating, Staying Active, Medications (Use and Safety), Problem Solving in Diabetes, and Disease Pathophysiology. Each category contains several videos providing education about a different component of diabetes care.
