520 _aCONCLUSIONS: Among completers of a 3-month DCM program, a low intensity 9-month sustaining strategy maintained A1C under 8.0% (HEDIS (Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set) threshold for diabetes control) compared with controls for 15 months after completion of the initial DCM intervention.

520 _aINTRODUCTION: Evidence-based strategies are needed to sustain improvements in outcomes following diabetes care management (DCM) programs. We examined the impact of Boot Camp-Plus (BC-Plus), an innovative sustaining strategy, on A1C among adults with type 2 diabetes completing a 3-month Diabetes Boot Camp (DBC). This health system sponsored program consisted of diabetes self-management education and support, medical nutrition therapy and antihyperglycemic medications management.
520 _aRESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: From March 2019 to July 2021, adult DBC completers with Medicare or a health system Medicaid or employee commercial plan were enrolled in BC-Plus for 9 months. DBC completers not meeting insurance eligibility or who declined to participate in BC-Plus acted as controls. During the first 3 months, BC-Plus participants received ongoing daily remote blood glucose (BG) monitoring; and during all 9 months, they received monthly check-in calls with BG review by a medical assistant who addressed needs for supplies/drugs, whether participants were checking BGs, and self-care encouragement. Escalation to a nurse practitioner occurred if the monthly BG trend was >200 mg/dL and/or several BG <80 mg/dL and/or new A1C >9.0% were identified. A1C was followed for an additional 9 months post-BC-Plus. A longitudinal mixed effects analysis was used to assess change in A1C from month 0 to month 21 of follow-up between BC-Plus participants versus controls.
520 _aRESULTS: A total of 838 DCM completers were identified, among whom 281 joined the BC-Plus intervention and 557 acted as controls. Mean age was 55.9 years; 58.2% were women; 66.2% were black; and 30.6% insured by Medicare. BC-Plus participants experienced significantly lower A1C compared with controls and remained below 8.0% to month 18.
