What this trial studies

This study evaluates the feasibility and effects of the Diabetes LIVE JustICE application, designed for individuals with diabetes who have recently been released from prison. It employs a randomized clinical trial design with a non-equivalent control group and includes repeated measures at 0, 6, and 12 weeks to assess various outcomes such as diabetes knowledge, self-care behaviors, and clinical measures like glycemic control. Focus groups will also be conducted to gather feedback on the acceptability of the intervention among participants. The goal is to improve diabetes self-management skills in a vulnerable population that often lacks critical health-related knowledge.
