What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Being active is one way to reach better blood sugar control and heart health in type 2 diabetes. The investigators developed a strategy to help people with type 2 diabetes walk more. They track their steps with a step counter and set targets with their doctor through a kind of 'step prescription.' While this strategy helps people increase their physical activity, it can be useful to have support besides the clinic visits. Their partner might be a good person to help. Partners often have similar activity levels. Partners of people with type 2 diabetes are also more likely to develop type 2 diabetes. There are good reasons to work together! However, not all partners communicate in a way that helps them work together effectively. The investigators are going to give a step counter and step prescriptions to a large group of people with type 2 diabetes. The partners will also receive counters
