Michigan Men's Diabetes Project 2 (MenD 2)
Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2
About this trial
This is an interventional health services research trial for Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Black/African American males, age 21 years or older with diagnosis of T2D for six months, transportation to attend program activities, under the care of a physician for diabetes, and willing to attend group delivered sessions.
Exclusion Criteria:
- We considered restricting eligibility to a higher-risk population of participants with A1c ≥ 8%. Preliminary data suggest that over 50% of the proposed study sample will have an A1c ≥ 8%. Focusing on all older Black men with T2D allows us to cast a wide net for secondary prevention and public health impact.
