NCT ID NCT07043426

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests a program that helps people with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes get connected to community resources for needs like food or housing. Researchers will compare those who get extra support from a patient navigator to those who receive standard care. The goal is to see if this approach improves blood sugar levels and reduces hospital visits.
