Comparative Effectiveness of Diabetes Self-Care Interventions in African-American Adults: A Three-Arm Randomized Controlled Trial
The MODEL Study demonstrates that EM-alone, HC+EM, and TM+EM are effective for improving self-care behaviors and HbA1c. TM+EM is more effective than EM-alone in improving healthy eating. Low-cost EM, HC+EM, and TM+EM should be made more readily available in primary care settings nationwide.
