Nurse Case Management for Diabetes
(MANAGe-DM Trial)
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
The study is a randomized control trial involving 100 participants (formerly incarcerated Black men with poorly controlled diabetes) to examine the effect of a tailored nurse case manager on glycemic control and other clinical outcomes, self-care behaviors, and quality of life at 6 months post-randomization.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the trial coordinators or your healthcare provider.
Is Nurse Case Management for Diabetes safe for humans?
How is the drug MANAGe-DM different from other diabetes treatments?
MANAGe-DM, commonly known as metformin, is unique because it is often the first-line medication for type 2 diabetes, working by decreasing glucose production in the liver and improving insulin sensitivity. Unlike some other diabetes medications, it does not typically cause weight gain and is often used in combination with other treatments if additional glucose control is needed.678910
What data supports the effectiveness of the drug MANAGe-DM and related medications for diabetes management?
Metformin, a key component of MANAGe-DM, is widely used as a first-line treatment for type 2 diabetes and is known for its effectiveness in controlling blood sugar levels. Additionally, combining metformin with other medications like DPP-4 inhibitors can enhance treatment outcomes for patients whose diabetes is not well-managed with metformin alone.1011121314
