ClinConnect Summary

The LUNA-E trial is a study designed to help Latino patients with type 2 diabetes better manage their condition and improve their overall well-being. This research focuses on using a team-based approach that combines medical care with support for mental health, along with technology tools to enhance communication and care. The main goal is to see if this patient-centered method can lower blood sugar levels (measured by hemoglobin A1C) and reduce feelings of anxiety and depression among participants.

To join the study, individuals must be 18 years or older, identify as Hispanic or Latino, and have type 2 diabetes with a recent blood sugar level above 7.5%. Participants need to be registered patients at a certain health center and have approval from their primary care provider. They should not be involved in other diabetes programs or have serious health issues that could prevent them from taking part. If selected, participants can expect to receive tailored support and resources over the course of the trial, which aims to improve their health and quality of life.
