NCT ID NCT06031428
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tests a nurse case management program for formerly incarcerated Black men with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes. Participants receive regular phone coaching from a nurse along with standard diabetes education. The goal is to see if this extra support improves blood sugar levels, blood pressure, and quality of life over six months.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- nurse case management (behavioral intervention)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide an effective, tailored support program to help a high-risk group better manage their diabetes and reduce complications.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase trial with only 100 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention relies on phone calls, which may not work for everyone.
