Summary

Disparities in diagnosis and control of type 2 diabetes mellitus are most evident in African Americans (AAs) with lower socioeconomic status. Health literacy is an important predictor of adequate self-management and control of diabetes. The purpose of this pilot study was to test the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a health literacy-enhanced diabetes intervention -Prevention through Lifestyle intervention And Numeracy (PLAN) 4 Success-Diabetes, in inner-city, low-income AAs with uncontrolled diabetes. To evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of the intervention, the investigators conducted a pilot study with 24-week follow-up. The investigators that participation in the PLAN 4 Success-diabetes intervention would be associated with a reduction in glucose outcomes and improvements in psychosocial variables.
