Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this randomized trial is to determine the optimal combination and sequence of three enhancements for a team-based care model for patients living with diabetes in Chicago. The study aim is to determine optimization of intervention components. Participants will be randomly assigned to diabetes self-management training or remote glucose monitoring. After 6 months, participants will be rerandomized to a subsequent study arm (including a CHW support program) depending on a tailoring variable of change in A1c. Researchers will compare the final 6 study arms to see which combination and sequence of enhancements produces the most improvement in A1c.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Sinai Health System is Illinois' largest private safety-net healthcare system, serving predominantly low-income communities of color with large Medicaid-eligible populations in Chicago. In response to high diabetes rates and community calls for coordinated, multidisciplinary diabetes care, Sinai designed the Center for Diabetes and Endocrinology (the Center) which launched in 2020. The Center uses a comprehensive model with streamlined services to address the full spectrum of patient medical and non-medical needs. This study seeks to determine the appropriateness and fidelity of three intervention components of a team-based care model for patients served by the Center to define the ideal sequence for improving patient outcomes. Grounded in qualitative methodology and guided by a sequential multiple assignment randomized trial (SMART), we propose evaluating the appropriateness of novel intervention components (Aim 1); measuring fidelity of new intervention components (Aim 2); comparing the effectiveness and determine optimization of intervention components (Aim 3). We will evaluate Aim 1 via key stakeholder interviews and focus groups. We will analyze Aims 2 \& 3 by conducting descriptive statistics on all variables, giving special attention to outlier values. We will also run bivariate and multivariate analyses across variables of interest and time points to determine the optimal sequence of intervention activities.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Remote Glucose Monitoring > Remote Glucose Monitoring (RGM->RGM)

Participant will be randomized into the RGM study arm for the first 6 months. At the 6-month rerandomization point, if the patient is a responder (A1c improved by at least 1 percentage point), patient will remain in the RGM group.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Remote Glucose Monitoring (RGM)

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Remote Glucose Monitoring (RGM) is an automated process of transmitting glucose levels directly from a personal smartphone device to a healthcare provider using a remote data transmitter. Since 2020, Sinai has worked with Glooko Inc. to provide the RGM platform and technical assistance to patients and for Sinai providers to access data remotely. Via the app, patients can: document their glucose levels; sync data from a meter, insulin pump, pen or continuous glucose monitoring device; track their weight; log food and meals; access educational resources; track steps; and track blood pressure. Remotely uploading data provides patients with a direct line to their provider for regular feedback on progress and answers to questions between clinic visits. Patients also receive one one-hour education session on RGM and the Glooko application.

Remote Glucose Monitoring > Remote Glucose Monitoring+Community Health Worker (RGM->RGM+CHW)

Participant will be randomized into the RGM study arm for the first 6 months. At the 6-month rerandomization point, if the patient is a non-responder (A1c has not improved by at least 1 percentage point), patient will be randomized again with one arm being a continuation of RGM, with the addition of a CHW to provide tailored support.

Remotely uploading data provides patients with a direct line to their provider for regular feedback on progress and answers to questions between clinic visits. Patients also receive one one-hour education session on RGM and the Glooko application.

Community Health Worker tailored support

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

CHWs are frontline public health workers who are trusted members of and/or have an unusually close understanding of the community served. The Center has two bilingual (Spanish/English) CHWs; additional bilingual CHWs will be added to the team to support the proposed study. While approaches will differ slightly depending on the patient and study condition, all patients paired with a CHW will be screened for social needs utilizing a standard social determinants of health (SDoH) screening tool, receive referrals to resources to address unmet social/health needs, and aided in navigating health and social systems.

Remote Glucose Monitoring > Diabetes Self-Management Training (RGM->DSMT)

Participant will be randomized into the RGM study arm for the first 6 months. At the 6-month rerandomization point, if the patient is a non-responder (A1c has not improved by at least 1 percentage point), patient will be randomized again with one arm being diabetes self-management training (DSMT).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Diabetes Self-Management Training (DSMT)

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The American Diabetes Association endorses the use of small-group diabetes self-management training (DSMT), for people living with diabetes to improve lifestyle, HbA1c levels, and overall quality of life. A certified diabetes care and education specialist will teach a four-part series of one-hour sessions providing culturally competent group education and discussion for groups of 5-8 patients: Session 1 - Living with diabetes - physiology of diabetes, integrating diabetes into your daily life, long term outcomes of diabetes; Session 2 - Culturally competent food education \& portion control; Session 3 - Tips \& Tricks for dining out and special occasions; Session 4 - Advanced tools and psychosocial implications of living with diabetes. While patients will be encouraged to move through the series together as a cohort, there will be make-up sessions and flexibility to ensure high-quality participation.

Diabetes Self-Management Training > Standard of Care (DSMT->SOC)

Participant will be randomized into the DSMT study arm for the first 6 months. At the 6-month rerandomization point, if the patient is a responder (A1c improved by at least 1 percentage point), patient will be directed back to standard of care.
