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 program called Disfrutando that helps people with type 2 diabetes manage their condition through community health workers — trained people from your community who understand your culture and background. The program focuses on helping you learn about healthy eating and physical activity, connecting you to free or low-cost resources, and making sure you get regular health care appointments. About half of participants will start the program right away, and the other half will wait a few months before starting.
Type 2 diabetes is very common in certain communities in Missouri, and many people don't have easy access to support, resources, or information to manage it. This trial wants to see if having a community health worker help guide you through lifestyle changes and connect you to local resources can actually lower blood sugar levels and improve overall health.

If you join, you'll be randomly assigned to either start the Disfrutando program right away or wait a few months to begin. The program lasts about one year and involves meeting with a community health worker who will help you set goals around eating better, moving more, and attending doctor appointments. The study team will check your blood sugar levels and weight at the beginning, middle, and end to see how well the program works.
