Abstract
Home health aides were offered to half of a group of 227 low-income diabetic clinic patients; in the group offered aides, fasting blood sugar (FBS) declined when compared to control group (10.1 mg/dl vs an increase of 5.1 mg/dl), and missed clinic appointments and emergency room use also decreased. The group of 44, who, upon offer of an aide actually accepted one, showed a significant increase in eye clinic appointments as well as the greatest decline in FBS (13.9 mg/dl).Entities:
