NCT ID NCT04835493
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether mentoring local clinic teams via telehealth can help them start a comprehensive diabetes program for low-income Latino(a)s with type 2 diabetes. The program includes community health workers, help getting medication, and diabetes education. Researchers will compare blood sugar levels (HbA1c) between those in the program and those receiving usual care over 12 months.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
telehealth mentoring and a multidimensional diabetes program (community health workers, medication access, diabetes education)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show a practical way to improve diabetes control and reduce health disparities in underserved Latino(a) communities.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small trial (320 people) testing a complex program, so results may not apply broadly. The program requires significant clinic effort, which may limit adoption.
