Summary

This study tested whether helping people with type 2 diabetes get their basic needs met—like food, housing, and safety—can improve their blood sugar control. About 473 adults on Medicaid took part. The goal was to see if a navigation program to address these needs could lower HbA1c levels more than usual care alone.
