This is a clinical trial looking at differences in continuous glucose monitor (CGM) glucose readings between the left and right arms in adults with type 1 or type 2 diabetes. The study will enroll 60 participants who will wear a CGM sensor on both arms for 14 days.

This study tests whether adding CHW support to usual nutrition care helps adults with type 2 diabetes, hypertension, or chronic kidney disease manage their diet and health. At Caridad Center, a free clinic in Palm Beach County, Florida, usual care includes medical nutrition therapy from a registered dietitian and medically tailored groceries. Many patients find it hard to keep up dietary changes because of limited nutrition knowledge, cooking skills, food costs, and cultural fit. Two hundred adults will be randomly assigned to usual care or usual care plus INTEGRATE-CHW, a 12-week program of six sessions with a trained CHW. In each session the participant selects one or two goals from the dietitian's plan and builds an action plan with the CHW. The dietitian remains responsible for the nutrition plan. The study will compare nutrition self-efficacy, nutrition literacy, diet quality, food security, and clinical measures between groups at baseline and Week 12. It will also evaluate how well the program fits into routine clinic care.

SWAP-CKM (SWitching to Appropriate Prescription in Cardiovascular-Kidney-Metabolic Syndrome) is a pragmatic, cluster-randomized clinical trial designed to evaluate whether electronic health record (EHR)-based alerts can improve medication prescribing among adults with cardiovascular, kidney, and metabolic (CKM) conditions. The study will include all eligible adult patients receiving care within Kaiser Permanente Northern California (KPNC) who have CKM conditions and opportunities for therapeutic medication substitution. Fifteen service areas are randomly assigned to either an intervention group or a usual care group. Clinicians in the intervention group will receive EHR-based Best Practice Advisories (BPAs) identifying opportunities to replace potentially inappropriate medications with guideline-recommended therapies. The intervention may also include audit-and-feedback reports to support medication optimization. Clinicians retain full discretion over treatment decisions. The primary outcome is the proportion of eligible therapeutic optimization opportunities achieved at 9 months. Secondary outcomes include medication initiation and discontinuation, medication optimization at 18 months, and polypharmacy burden.

The TRANSITION-CGM trial will evaluate whether starting continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) before hospital discharge improves blood glucose control in adults with type 2 diabetes compared with usual care using finger-stick blood glucose checks. The study focuses on the transition from hospital to home, when patients may face changes in diabetes medications and challenges managing their blood glucose levels. This single-center, randomized controlled trial will enroll approximately 218 adults with type 2 diabetes, a hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) 9% and above, and treatment with insulin and/or oral diabetes medications. Participants will be recruited during hospitalization and must be expected to return home after discharge. People already using a CGM will not be eligible. Participants will be randomly assigned in equal numbers to one of two groups. The CGM group will start using a continuous glucose monitor before discharge and receive device training and written instructions. The usual-care group will continue finger-stick blood glucose monitoring and receive standard discharge education. Both groups will receive assistance with outpatient diabetes follow-up. Diabetes medications will be managed by treating clinicians according to usual clinical practice. Participants will be followed for approximately 12 weeks after discharge, with an early follow-up encounter and a final assessment at 12 weeks. The primary outcome is HbA1c at 12 weeks, a blood test that reflects average blood glucose levels over approximately three months. Secondary outcomes include diabetes-related hospitalizations and episodes of low blood sugar. Additional exploratory measures include CGM use, follow-up attendance, patient-reported experiences, and time spent within the target glucose range when CGM data are available. The study will determine whether initiating CGM during hospitalization can improve glycemic control after discharge and provide preliminary evidence about its effects on diabetes-related hospitalizations and hypoglycemia.

The purpose of this clinical study is to find out which zenagamtide dose can be switched to, from maintenance dose of tirzepatide in people with overweight or obesity, with or without type 2 diabetes (T2D). All participants will get tirzepatide and zenagamtide.

The purpose of this pilot randomized trial is to evaluate the implementation and effectiveness of a Diabetes Medical Nutrition Therapy (DM MNT) program for adults with type 2 diabetes and poor glycemic control receiving care in a large integrated health system. The study will assess implementation outcomes using the RE-AIM framework, as well as changes in glycemic control and other clinical outcomes, to inform potential broader implementation of MNT within routine diabetes care.

This study will collect sensor data in subjects with T1D or T2D, 2-80 years of age.

Among adults with chronic illnesses like hypertension, diabetes, or HIV, adherence to daily oral medications is essential but often below 50%. Why do medication adherence and preventive health service engagement remain stubbornly low? Scarcity theory offers a novel explanation in the context of poverty. It posits that economic hardship imposes a cognitive burden that shifts attention from long-term goals to immediate needs, reduces future orientation (the relative value placed on immediate vs. future outcomes), and limits mental bandwidth (the cognitive resources needed for decisions), thus undermining behaviors like daily medication adherence and service engagement. To address these gaps, the study's objective is to rigorously test whether and how economic scarcity affects medication adherence and preventive service uptake among older adults with chronic disease, leveraging the naturally occurring monthly fluctuation in scarcity created by the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefit cycle as a natural experiment. There are three aims: 1. Daily medication adherence will be measured objectively for four months with wireless electronic pill bottle caps (CleverCaps). The investigators will test whether, when, and by how much adherence changes as scarcity fluctuates during the SNAP benefit cycle. 2. The investigators will conduct two easily implementable RCTs to test whether scarcity affects participants' engagement with beneficial services requiring navigation of administrative burdens. In one trial, participants will be randomized to receive an invitation during either a high- or low- scarcity period (i.e., before vs. after SNAP receipt) to a personalized preventive health review that identifies gaps in US Preventive Services Task Force Grade A/B recommendations. In the second, participants will be invited to free financial counseling provided by the City of Philadelphia during a high- or low-scarcity period. The investigators hypothesize invitation response rates will be \>15% higher during low-scarcity periods. 3. Potential mechanisms that link scarcity with health behaviors will be examined by randomizing timing of validated measures of mental bandwidth and future orientation during a period of high- or low-scarcity (i.e., before vs. after SNAP receipt). The investigators hypothesize that there will be differences in several measures between participants who are randomly assessed during high- vs. low-scarcity periods (i.e. before vs. after SNAP receipt). Impact: Demonstrating that scarcity helps to explain low medication adherence and beneficial health-related service uptake can inform patient-centered adherence interventions, clinical care-delivery approaches, health-system strategies, and public health approaches to improve these health behaviors and promote healthy aging.

This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of petrelintide compared with placebo, in conjunction with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity, for weight management in participants living with overweight or obesity and with Type 2 Diabetes (T2D).

This study is being conducted to find out how well zenagamtide works and how safe it is compared to insulin glargine in participants with type 2 diabetes who are at higher risk of heart and blood vessel problems and are already taking 1 to 3 diabetes medications. There are 2 study treatments in this study taken as injections under the skin once a week. Participants will either get zenagamtide, (the treatment being tested) or insulin glargine (a comparator) and which treatment participants get is decided by chance.

This 8-week randomized controlled pilot trial is to test the hypothesis that, compared to a Usual Diet control group, almond intake will increase vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol) levels in the blood and improve diet quality (Healthy Eating Index) among people prescribed a glucagon-like peptide-1. Two groups of individuals will either: 1) consume a minimum of 56 grams of almonds each day, or 2) not consume almonds and follow their usual diet.

The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the potential benefits of integrating a video covering topics related to nutrition education, food literacy and type 2 diabetes into Seva Food Banks current programs (Culinary Training for Youth, Culinary Training for Newcomers, Cooking Classes for Seniors), to learn if integrating this video can reduce risk of type 2 diabetes by improving diet quality, nutrition knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors among participants of the programs. The main question it aims to answer is: How does the integration of a nutrition education video covering topics related to food literacy and type 2 diabetes within Seva Food Bank's Culinary Training programs for youth, newcomers, and seniors influence participants' diet quality, nutrition knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors? Participants will: * Complete a baseline questionnaire before watching the educational video * Watch the nutrition education video * Complete a questionnaire at 2-weeks and again 1-month post-intervention to assess sustained effects and maintenance.
