This study, called MANAGe-DM, is testing a new type of nurse support for formerly incarcerated Black men with type 2 diabetes (a condition where your body doesn't use sugar properly, leading to high blood sugar). All participants will receive monthly diabetes education mailings. Some will also get extra support from a nurse case manager through two phone calls each month. The study aims to see if this extra support improves blood sugar control (measured by Hemoglobin A1C, a test that shows your average blood sugar over 2-3 months) and other health outcomes after 6 months. You might be able to join if you are a Black or African American man, at least 18 years old, have been incarcerated, have type 2 diabetes with an HbA1c of 8% or higher, and can speak English. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status and plans to enroll 100 participants.
