What this trial studies

This randomized control trial involves 100 participants who are formerly incarcerated Black men with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes. The study aims to assess the impact of a tailored nurse case management intervention on glycemic control, self-care behaviors, and quality of life over a six-month period. Participants will receive standard diabetes education along with personalized support from trained nurse case managers who will assist with healthcare navigation and basic needs. The intervention is designed to address the unique health challenges faced by this population.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly improve diabetes management and overall health outcomes for formerly incarcerated Black men.

How similar studies have gone: While similar approaches have been explored, this specific intervention targeting formerly incarcerated Black men with diabetes is relatively novel.
