Study Summary

The specific aims of this study are to test whether in a cohort of low-income minority veterans with poor diabetes mellitus (DM) control: 1. Peer counseling is an effective means of reducing HbA1c (a measure of glucose control). 2. Financial incentives are an effective means of reducing HbA1c. This is a randomized controlled pilot study. There will be 3 arms: 1) a control group of poorly controlled diabetics getting usual care; 2) peer counseling with no incentives; and 3) financial incentives without peers. Ultimately, contingent on the success of this intervention, the researchers plan to apply for funding for a large scale intervention employing both peer counseling and incentives to improve DM control in low income and minority patients who are at high risk for premature morbidity and mortality.

Primary Outcome

Change in HbA1c from baseline will be the primary outcome measure.
