Summary
This pilot study tests whether having older Black men with diabetes lead support groups can help other older Black men better manage their type 2 diabetes. All 48 participants receive standard diabetes education, and half also get 6 months of monthly peer-led support sessions. The study tracks changes in blood sugar, medication adherence, and quality of life over 15 months.

Active substance
peer-led diabetes self-management support sessions
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could improve diabetes control and retention in studies for older Black men, pointing toward better community-based diabetes care.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study (48 participants) with no control group for the peer support component, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention is delivered via Zoom, which may limit engagement.
