New study tests if coaching can slow kidney disease in diabetics

This pilot study tests a program that provides education, motivation, and social support to adults with diabetes and early-stage chronic kidney disease (CKD). The goal is to see if the program is practical and helps patients stay motivated, learn about kidney disease, and use support services. Researchers will compare these patients to others who only receive general diabetes information. The study involves virtual meetings with a nurse and phone surveys over three months.
