First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study tested whether combining financial navigation (help with costs) and peer support (connecting with others) can help adults with diabetes better manage their condition. 61 participants were randomly assigned to receive either financial navigation alone or financial navigation plus peer support. The study measured changes in blood sugar (A1c), blood pressure, financial stress, and diabetes self-care over 6 months.
