Read our Type 2 Diabetes research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a lifestyle coaching program called GEM (Glycemic Excursion Minimization) designed specifically for Black adults with type 2 diabetes. Over 4 weeks, you would work with a health coach who teaches you how different foods and physical activity affect your blood sugar, and helps you make lasting changes to keep your blood sugar more stable. The study wants to see if this program is practical, acceptable to patients, and actually works.
Many people with type 2 diabetes struggle to manage their blood sugar effectively, and these challenges often affect Black communities more severely. This trial is designed to test whether a personalized coaching approach can help address these health disparities and give patients the tools they need to take control of their diabetes.
You would attend 4 coaching sessions over 4 weeks, delivered either in person or online, where you'll learn about foods that affect blood sugar, ways to be more physically active, and strategies for staying on track long-term. You'll receive a pocket-sized manual with information and diary pages to track how your food and activity choices affect your blood sugar. Between sessions, you may receive text message reminders to help you keep track and stay motivated.
