Summary
This study offers a free 3-month diabetes education program at a local faith-based organization for adults with diabetes or prediabetes in Jefferson County, Alabama. Participants attend group sessions on diet, exercise, and coping, and are paired with a community health worker for extra support. Some will use a remote monitoring app to track blood sugar and blood pressure. The goal is to see if this community-based approach improves blood sugar control and overall health.
