Summary

This trial tests a support program for Spanish-speaking homeless people with diabetes. The program includes counseling, education, and emotional support to help them manage their diabetes better. It aims to improve their medication adherence and overall health.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for Spanish-speaking adults with type 2 diabetes who have experienced significant housing instability or homelessness. Participants should be willing to improve medication adherence and self-care, plan to stay local or reachable by phone for 16 weeks, and not be pregnant or lactating.
What is being tested?
The study tests a support program designed specifically for homeless, Spanish-speaking individuals with type 2 diabetes. It aims to understand how participants perceive the program and its feasibility over a single-arm trial involving 12 people.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial focuses on a support program rather than a medical intervention, traditional side effects are not applicable. However, participants may experience stress or emotional discomfort when discussing personal health issues.

Other Research
The most common treatments for Type 2 Diabetes include metformin, sulfonylureas, insulin, and lifestyle modifications. Metformin works by reducing glucose production in the liver and improving insulin sensitivity, making it easier for cells to absorb glucose. Sulfonylureas stimulate the pancreas to release more insulin. Insulin therapy directly provides the hormone that helps cells take in glucose from the bloodstream. Lifestyle modifications, such as diet and exercise, help reduce blood sugar levels and improve insulin sensitivity. These treatments are crucial for managing Type 2 Diabetes as they help maintain blood glucose levels within a target range, reducing the risk of complications. For homeless individuals, support for medication adherence and management is vital to ensure consistent treatment and better health outcomes.
