Improving diabetes care for Latino patients using coordinated team support

This trial, called LUNA-E, is testing a new way to help Latino patients with type 2 diabetes manage their condition better. The program combines care coordination (a team member helping organize your care), visits with a mental health specialist who knows about diabetes, and online diabetes education videos. The goal is to see if this team-based approach helps you control your blood sugar, take your medications as prescribed, and feel better emotionally.

Latino communities in the United States face higher rates of type 2 diabetes and complications from the disease. The researchers want to find out if this coordinated team approach works better than standard diabetes care, so it can be offered more widely to help more people.
