Summary

This trialwill use an optimized intervention to improve type 2 diabetes among Black Americans with cardiovascular and kidney disease in Alabama/Mississippi. It includes digital coaching, food delivery, and remote monitoring.

Who is the study for?
The FREEDOM study is for low-income Black adults in the Deep South with type 2 diabetes, aged 18 or older, who are HIV positive and on insulin treatment. Participants must have a high HbA1c level indicating poor blood sugar control and face social challenges like poverty. They can't join if they're pregnant, planning to become pregnant soon, have severe kidney disease or cognitive issues, or are already in another diabetes study.
What is being tested?
This trial tests a comprehensive approach to manage type 2 diabetes by providing participants with food deliveries tailored to their dietary needs, digital health coaching sessions for better disease understanding and management strategies, remote patient monitoring tools to track health metrics regularly from home, and specialized education classes about diabetes care.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial focuses on educational support rather than medication changes or new drugs being introduced into the regimen of participants, there aren't direct side effects related to medications. However, lifestyle adjustments may cause temporary discomfort as habits change.
