Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- Patients for this study will be recruited from the Ralph H. Johnson VAMC in Charleston, South Carolina.

Exclusion Criteria
- Children will not be included as this study pertains to type 2 diabetes, which is not a disease of children.
- Non-English speaking patients are excluded to eliminate bias in the response to questionnaires because these questionnaires have only been validated in English speaking patients.
- We decided to exclude cognitively impaired individuals because of the complexity of the survey instruments.
