About this trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if shared medical appointment is an acceptable way to deliver care to youth with type 2 diabetes.
The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are:
* Is shared medical appointments an acceptable care delivery model for this population? * Does shared medical appointment improve psychosocial outcomes for this population?
Participants will attend quarterly clinic appointments and group activities and take surveys. Researchers will compare this intervention to standard of care.

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Average number of clinics attended over 1 year period to be recorded by Study Coordinator
Data collected is the number of patient visits to the clinic.
Change in HbA1c for patients from baseline to end of study
Patients' glycemic outcomes will be taken every session (Visit 0 (baseline) - Visit 4) over a one-year period
Clinic Satisfaction
Patient participants will complete satisfaction survey at the end of each visit using a 5-point Likert scale; "Strongly disagree" is 1, "disagree" is 2, "neutral" is 3, "agree" is 4, "strongly agree" is 5.
Secondary outcomes
Depression score
The patient health questionnaire-8 is a measure of depression severity that will be administered at baseline and again at the end of the study.
Mean time-in-range from blinded 14-day continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) for Patients between baseline and 1 year
A blinded CGM device will be applied to patients at enrollment and at the final study visit to capture glycemic control
Diabetes distress for patients over 1 year period
The Diabetes Distress Scale 2 is a 2 question prescreen that will be used to prescreen emotional burden. A score of 3 or higher on the DDS-2 will lead to the use of the 17-item survey.
Change in dietary intake for patients before and after delivery of the dietary intervention
The Dietary Screen Questionnaire (DSQ) will be administered to track changes in food habits before and after delivery of the intervention (session 2).
Other outcomes
Patient experience for patient and parent/caregiver
The Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers \& Systems survey (CAHPS)assesses patient-clinician communication, experiences of discrimination based on race/ethnicity, insurance, and experiences leading to trust or distrust. Patient experience will be compared between control and intervention groups, both at baseline and at one year.
Demographic for Patients and Parents/Caregivers
Self-reported demographic history (date of birth, gender, race and/or ethnicity, education, etc) will be collected.
Sociodemographic History for Parents/Caregivers
Self-reported sociodemographic history (work status, marital members, household income, etc)
Implementation Outcome Measures for Research Staff
Implementation Outcome measure is used in behavioral health care as a psycho metric quality and will be used to assess how effectively clinic is being implemented.
