Summary

This study tests whether helping people with diabetes find local resources (like food or housing help) and pairing them with a peer supporter can improve blood sugar and blood pressure. About 694 adults with diabetes who have trouble controlling their condition will be randomly assigned to different combinations of these supports. Researchers will track health markers and surveys over a year to see which approach works best.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: FindHelp website/app and peer support
What this could lead to: If successful, this could show that combining resource navigation with peer support helps people with diabetes better manage their condition and reduce health disparities.
What could go wrong: This is a behavioral intervention trial, not a drug study, so effects may be modest. Results depend on participants' engagement and may not apply to all populations.
