D-Homes Intervention
Behavioral treatments by a diabetes wellness coach as defined below. Diabetes Homeless Medication Support (D-Homes): There will be 10 sessions offered within 12 weeks to participants. Sessions will last approximately 30 minutes. During sessions a diabetes wellness coach will use behavioral activation and motivational interviewing to get to know participants and set goals to improve diabetes care. The coach will encourage a focus on medication adherence behaviors to the extent that participants are willing. The coach will also help with resource and care coordination. The coach will also provide a tailored tool to the patient's needs/goals and tailored diabetes education as needed. Enhanced usual care: Trained diabetes wellness coaches will provide an approximately 15 minutes of instruction about the basic concepts of diabetes. They will use handouts aligned with American Diabetes Association guidelines. They will read these with participants and answer basic questions. Handouts will cover (1) general diabetes knowledge, (2) healthy eating with diabetes, (3) physical activity with diabetes. The coach will also provide a general tool to support medication adherence (e.g. pillbox).
Enhanced Usual Care
Brief diabetes educational session by a diabetes wellness coach. Enhanced usual care: Trained diabetes wellness coaches will provide an approximately 15 minutes of instruction about the basic concepts of diabetes. They will use handouts aligned with American Diabetes Association guidelines. They will read these with participants and answer basic questions.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Assessed at baseline, 16 weeks, and 30 weeks

Psychological wellness is measured with the 5-item Mental Health Inventory (MHI-5), a brief transdiagnostic screening tool attuned to broader concepts of wellbeing and distress than other available measures. MHI-5 scores are computed and transformed on a 0 to 100 point scale with higher scores indicating more wellness. We compare MHI-5 scores from baseline to 16 weeks and from baseline to 30 weeks.
