FINANCE-DM Trial Summary

This trial will test the efficacy of a financial incentive intervention for adults with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes. The intervention will be compared to an active control group (nurse education and home telemonitoring alone). The study will also evaluate whether intervention effects are sustained 6 months after the financial incentives are withdrawn (i.e. 18 months post randomization); and whether the intervention is differentially efficacious across racial/ethnic groups.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 21 with Type 2 Diabetes, specifically those who have not managed to control their blood sugar well (HbA1c >=8%). Participants must speak English, be willing to use a home monitoring system for a year, and have access to phone or internet. It's not open to those with life expectancies under 18 months, other diabetes trial participants, significant dementia, substance abuse issues, or acute mental disorders.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The FINANCE-DM study is testing if financial rewards can boost the effectiveness of nurse education and home telemonitoring in managing Type 2 Diabetes. Half the patients will receive money incentives on top of this care; the other half won't. Researchers want to see if these benefits last even after stopping the payments and if they work equally well across different racial groups.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves educational support and financial incentives rather than medication or medical procedures, traditional side effects are not expected. However, there may be indirect effects related to stress or behavior changes due to participation in the study.

Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: FINANCE-DM InterventionExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
The FINANCE-DM intervention is comprised of: 1) nurse education, 2) home telemonitoring, and 3) structured financial incentives.
Group II: TIDES InterventionActive Control1 Intervention
Patients randomized to the active comparator group will be assigned the FORA 2-in-1 Telehealth System. A nurse educator will review the glucose and BP readings and use them to tailor and reinforce behavior change.
