Glycemic Excursion Minimization (GEM) to Outshine Health Disparities

The purpose of this study is to see if the GEM intervention is acceptable and helpful to Black adults with type 2 diabetes. The GEM intervention (coaching to reduce carbohydrate intake and increase physical activity after meals, with feedback from a continuous glucose monitor, CGM) might improve blood glucose levels, reduce diabetes distress, and increase empowerment and confidence in managing diabetes.
