About this study
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the Diabetes Homelessness Medication Support (D-HOMES) wellness coaching model is effective for adults who speak English or Spanish, have Type 2 diabetes with an HbA1c at or above 7.5, and have recently experienced homelessness. Researchers will compare a one-time education session about diabetes to 10 wellness coaching sessions to see if there are differences between the groups' health outcomes. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Do D-HOMES participants have greater reductions in HbA1c at 3 months than participants who received education? * Do D-HOMES participants have greater reductions in HbA1c at 6 and 12 months compared to those who received education? * Do D-HOMES participants have improvements in blood pressure control, quality of life, self-reported psychological wellness, diabetes distress, and diabetes medication adherence and self-management at 3, 6, and 12 months? * What factors must be considered to make D-HOMES scalable? Participants will: * complete 5 assessments including two baseline assessments and follow-ups at months 3,6, and 12 * participate in a one-time education session or 10 weeks of wellness coaching.
