Patients in the usual care arm will receive the standard T2D care provided to Kaiser Permanente Northern California members with recently diagnosed T2D. This care includes any counseling or treatment recommendations made by the primary care provider and the assigned care manager.

The intervention - Augmented Initial T2D Care - comprises the elements of usual care augmented by more proactive and intensive outreach from the diabetes care team and self-management support by care managers, health educators, and dieticians.

The intervention will include 4 components: 1) Making primary care providers (PCPs) aware that the patient has been selected to receive "Augmented Initial Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) Care", 2) encouraging early care manager outreach to establish care, ensure prescribing of appropriate medications, and support medication adherence, 3) a one-on-one virtual health educator visit to reinforce self-management education and ensure set-up of remote glucose monitoring or continuous glucose monitoring (if eligible), and 4) a one-on-one virtual nutrition visit to provide individualized counseling.
