Summary

"This trial aims to reduce the difference in how well type 2 diabetes is managed between African American and Latinx patients at Rush University Medical Center clinics."

Who is the study for?
This trial is for African American and Latinx adults with uncontrolled Type 2 Diabetes (A1C level of 8.0 or higher in the past 3 months), who are patients at eligible Rush primary care clinics, have access to a cellphone, and are not enrolled in other remote diabetes programs.
What is being tested?
The study tests two approaches: one where patients work with an E3 Multidisciplinary Team, and another where they use E3 Self-Guided Education to manage their Type 2 Diabetes. The goal is to improve diabetes control among these groups.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves educational interventions rather than medications, traditional side effects like those seen with drugs aren't expected. However, participants may experience stress or time demands related to managing their condition.

A multidisciplinary team composed of a pharmacist, social worker, community health worker, and dietician will provide glucose monitoring, medication titration, diet education and reinforcement, and referrals for social needs. The pharmacist will remind patients to get A1C readings at 3 months and 6 months. The team will interact with the patients predominantly via tele-health remotely for 6 months.
Group II: Diabetes Self-Guided GroupActive Control1 Intervention
A registered nurse will ensure patients have glucose monitors and supplies on enrollment and will call to remind patients to obtain A1C readings at 3 months and 6 months. Patients will continue with standard clinical care for type 2 diabetes in addition to receiving timed, mailed educational materials on type 2 diabetes monitoring and diabetes diet and lifestyle recommendations for 6 months.
