Study Summary

This trial will test a nurse case-manager, telephone-delivered intervention to help African Americans aged 50+ with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes manage their diabetes and address social needs.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for African Americans aged 50 or older with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes (HbA1C levels of at least 8%). Participants must self-identify as Black and have a diagnosis of T2DM. Those with significant dementia, involvement in other diabetes trials, substance abuse issues, or a life expectancy less than six months cannot join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares the effectiveness of two approaches: a nurse-led intervention providing education and skills training along with addressing social needs (DM Social Needs), versus usual care. It involves randomly placing participants into one of these two groups to see which method better improves clinical and patient-reported outcomes.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial focuses on education and skills training rather than medication, it does not list specific side effects like drug studies do. However, any potential discomfort from lifestyle changes or stress from participation will be monitored.
