Summary

This trial will test whether mentoring local clinics to start a diabetes care program called TIME via telehealth is an effective way to improve care and reduce disparities in vulnerable populations.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for Spanish-speaking adults over 18 with type 2 diabetes, an HbA1c level of at least 6.5%, and taking oral diabetes medication. Participants must be uninsured, below the poverty line, and self-identify as Latino(a). It's not for those who miss group visits, have conditions affecting HbA1c levels or need frequent clinic visits.
What is being tested?
The study tests a telementoring program called TIME that helps local clinics start a comprehensive diabetes care initiative. The focus is on integrating community health workers (CHWs), improving medication access, and providing group education through telehealth support.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves educational and mentoring interventions rather than medications or medical procedures, there are no direct side effects associated with typical drug trials. However, participants may experience stress or discomfort from changes in their routine diabetes care.
