Summary
The purpose of the study is to gather input about the value of adding a newly developed diabetes self-management program to an existing diabetes self-management program. Participants will self-identify as African-American/Black with type 2 diabetes, and prescribed a diabetes medication. Participants can expect to be in the study for 6 months.
Detailed description
Both programs utilized in this study focus on topics such as diet, exercise, and stress. Both programs offer ideas to manage diabetes symptoms, discuss appropriate exercises, provide guidance on healthy eating, review the use of medicine, and offer tips on communicating with healthcare providers and voicing concerns to family members. The new program is culturally-tailored for African Americans and focuses on helping patients take their medicines as prescribed. The purpose of this research study is to evaluate this newly developed combined diabetes self-management program.
