Promoting Intergenerational Health in Rural Kentuckians With Diabetes (PIHRK'D)
This study, called PIHRK'D, is looking at how family support can help rural Kentuckians with type 2 diabetes manage their health. It will test a program that includes Medical Nutrition Therapy (counseling about food and eating) to see if it helps improve blood sugar control (hemoglobin A1c values) and body weight. The study wants to understand how family structure affects the health of its members living with type 2 diabetes. You may be able to join if you are 18 or older, have type 2 diabetes, and have lived in rural Kentucky for at least one year. The study is currently unclear about its recruitment status and plans to enroll 75 participants.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study, meaning participants will receive a specific intervention. It aims to enroll 75 participants.
- What's involved
- Participants will be asked about their access to food and places for physical activity. A nutrition and physical activity plan will be developed for participants and their families to use for 6 months.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your hemoglobin A1c values and body weight will be measured at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after the start of the study.
