Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Ten diabetes intervention sessions including scheduled glucose monitoring, diabetes specific nutritional plan, and group diabetes education are designed for this study. The number of sessions that participants attend is determined based on the pilot study we completed in 2017-2018. It was evident the intervention was effective if participants can attend at least 8 sessions. If participants skipped sessions, the local physicians will catch up the participants by phone or sending session materials to participants so they can catch up with the activity contents. These participants will be given opportunities to participate in activities to review their understanding of the intervention content. All intervention group participants will be provided diabetes intervention materials used for weekly group activities led by experienced community based physicians. The diabetes intervention materials are specially designed for this study. Each group consisted of 10-15 patients for 1 to 1.5 hours activities. The information included the following topics: thoughts and beliefs in diabetes management, diabetes self care behavious, behavioral and lifestyle modification including quitting smoking and drinking, physical activity, and knowledge of diabetes education, diabetes self care skills, healthy eating instruction and low glycemic foods based on Chinese Health Diet plan. In the education and information sessions, participants will attend workshop, learn the content through demonstrations, to conduct role plays and group discussion, Participants will attend weekly group sessions at their respective communities. For each session, it lasted 60 to 90 minutes, participants met with a community physician for diet consultations and medical evaluation in the same session. This includes review of behavioural modifications actions, assessment of blood glucose measurements and adjustment of medications. The integrative health care model will be developed by integrating Disease Control Center as project management, tertiary hospital to provide guidance and training and community doctors to do monitoring and management.
We are also trialing the online monitoring the patients weight control by using E-health method. This measure participants body weight, BMI, fat, bone and muscle strength, and metabolism process. Participants will measure their weights every week six months. The APP developed for the intervention will receive patients data and provide patients guidance after they send data through telecommunication method.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 307593 0
Fasting blood glucose will be collected at all three time points.

Timepoint [1] 307593 0
Data collection will be conducted at baseline, midpoint (26 week) and endpoint (52 week), and the primary timepoint is 26 weeks.
Primary outcome [2] 307799 0
HbA1c will be collected. A blood sample is obtained by inserting a needle into a vein in the arm and the level of HbA1c will be assessed using laboratory technique by pathologists at hospital in Jiangsu Province. A procedure known as high
pressure (or performance) liquid chromatography (HPLC) will be used in the laboratory test. This test can separates mixtures (for example, blood) into its various
components by adding the mixtures to special liquids and passing
them under pressure through columns filled with a material that
separates the mixture into its different component molecules. The HbA1c content is
measured which is based on the ratio of HbA1c peak area to the
total hemoglobin peak areas.

Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
After patients provide consent, they will be randomised into either intervention or control group according to the stratification of age and gender in each district. The allocation concealment process will be used and participants will not know which group they will be allocated to. The third party people will come to help with the allocation of participants with concealment. Experts with experience in RCT study will be invited to do the allocation and they will not be aware of the patients status and they will randomely allocate patients to the intervention or control group.
