Michigan Men's Diabetes Project

The investigators propose to develop a training for male peer leaders facilitating diabetes self-management education and support (DSMES) to specifically encourage conversations regarding beliefs that affect men's health and to allow modeling of alternative views and perspectives that allow for successful disease management to be framed as competence and strength. Given that the life expectancy for Black men in the US is 71, the investigators hypothesize that targeting men in earlier stages of type 2 diabetes will assist greatly in facilitating healthy aging and improving diabetes-related health outcomes later in life. Based on the investigators previous work, the long-term goal of our research is to determine the most effective, practical, and sustainable approach to provide DSMES to older Black men. The objective is to examine the relative effectiveness, feasibility, and acceptability of a peer-leader DSMES intervention for Black men with T2D. To accomplish this, the investigators will engage in a developmental phase and a validation phase [pilot randomized control trial (RCT)]. The RCT will be conducted with 60 Black adult male residents of metro Detroit, MI. Participants will be randomized to a control group or the tailored peer-leader diabetes self-management support group (PLDSMS). All participants will receive DSME with a certified diabetes care and education specialists. Only participants randomized to the PLDSMS group will also receive an additional 6 weeks of DSMS led by the peer leaders. The investigators hypothesize that 1) participants in the PLDSMS group will have improved outcomes (A1c, blood pressure, weight, diabetes distress, self-management behaviors, etc.) over the control group, and 2) an evaluation of measures will confirm efficacy of the PLDSMS.

Remote Study Collecting Blood Glucose Values and Activity Data in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes on Different Treatments

The purpose of this study is to collect blood glucose values and activity data in patients with type 2 diabetes for approximately 12 weeks using electronic devices in a full virtual clinical setting. Virtual clinical setting means that all data are collected by use of participants' personal smartphone and study-related apps. In other words, everything will be handled without any visits to a hospital or doctor. For collection of participants' blood glucose values participants will receive two different blood glucose monitors. One where participants cannot see the blood glucose values and one where participants can see the blood glucose values. Participants must wear them consecutively for 2 and 10 weeks, respectively. Further, participants will be asked to self-apply the monitors on their upper arm. For collection of participants' activity data participants will receive an activity tracker, which participants will wear on the wrist throughout the study. We will ask participants to keep an electronic diary of the timing of the meal- and medication intake through two shorter periods of the study. On a voluntary basis, participants can choose to donate a saliva sample for the purpose of genetic research in diabetes patients. The study does not include any study medication and participants will continue the current antidiabetic treatment as prescribed to participants by their own physician. If any questions about the treatment and/or health condition while participating in the trial, participants should consult your own physician If participants are in doubt about what the blood glucose values mean or whether participants should react to the blood glucose values, participants need to contact the research staff or their general practitioner.
