Summary

One in three people will be diagnosed with diabetes by 2050, and the proportion will likely be higher among Native Americans. Diabetes control is currently suboptimal in underserved populations such as Zuni Indians despite a plethora of new therapies. Patient empowerment is a key determinant of diabetes control, but such empowerment can be difficult to achieve due to resource limitation and cultural, language and health literacy barriers. The investigators will conduct a home-based chronic disease (diabetes) educational intervention using Community Health Representatives (CHRs) to associate improvement in Patient Activation Measures scores (primary outcome) and clinical indicators of diabetes control (secondary outcomes).
