Summary
This study tested a program that helps low-income African Americans with diabetic kidney disease get their basic needs, like food and housing, while also providing lifestyle coaching. Fifty participants received one-on-one sessions and a device to track blood sugar and blood pressure. The goal was to see if this approach is feasible and could improve health outcomes like blood sugar control.
