Abstract
This diabetes prevention program suggests that Fitbits and frequent follow-up with individualized coaching strategies by healthcare team members can be a cost-effective motivational tool to increase physical activity among rural individuals with prediabetes. However, feasibility of sustaining this six-month program for participants and in primary care is questionable.
