Summary

The Michigan Men's Diabetes Project 2 (MenD 2) is an 18-month pilot randomized clinical trial. We are looking to recruit 60 Black men with type 2 diabetes (need to have diagnosis for at least 6 months) that are over the age of 21. Interested participants need to be under the care of a physician for their diabetes, have access to reliable transportation for study activities, and be willing to participate in 4 health assessments where they will get their A1C, blood pressure, height, and weight measured and they will complete a survey. All participants will receive 10 hours of diabetes self-management education with a Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist. Participants randomized to the intervention arm will also be offered 6 months of monthly diabetes self-management support (DSMS) sessions with trained Peer Leaders who are also Black men with type 2 diabetes. After the 6 months of support, this group will transition into 6 months of ongoing support where they can continue DSMS and/or other diabetes related initiatives that are important to the group and chosen by the group. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, DSME and DSMS sessions will likely be held via Zoom, ongoing support sessions have potential to be in person. The 4 health assessments will take place at baseline, 3-months, 9-months, and 15-months.

Conditions

• Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Peer Led Diabetes Self-Management Support	While the effectiveness of peer-led interventions delivering diabetes-related education and support for short-term clinical, psychosocial, and behavioral improvements is well-established, older Black men in particular are less likely to participate and are at a higher risk of drop-out from these studies. This intervention aims to determine if using older Black men as peer leaders to other older Black men will improve retention rates for this population.
BEHAVIORAL	Diabetes Self-Management Education	Participants will attend 10 hours of virtual group diabetes self-management education classes led by a certified diabetes care and education specialist through the online HIPPA compliant Zoom platform.
