Summary

The primary aim of the LIFE study is to compare low-income African American diabetes patients in a lifestyle intervention group with those in a standard of care control group on change in glycemic control at 12-months. We hypothesize that, on average, participants in the intervention group will achieve greater glycemic control at 12-months relative to their baseline A1c, than those in the control group.
