Description: This study explores whether a digital health program can help adults with type 1 or type 2 diabetes better manage their condition by addressing financial stress and unmet social needs, such as trouble paying for care, medications, or basic necessities. Researchers examined whether providing short educational videos and guidance through an online platform could improve diabetes-related health measures and reduce financial and social barriers compared to usual medical care. The study also explores whether this type of digital support works differently for people with different income levels.
