African Americans (AA) experience a disparate effect of type II diabetes (T2D). For this nurse-led pilot study, a pre-validated 6-week diabetes self-management education (DSME) program was implemented in a faith community setting and tailored to the participants' faith and culture by using short scriptural lessons, prayers, and individual sharing. Participants demonstrated improvements in fasting blood glucose (p = .042), diabetes knowledge (p = .002), and psychosocial self-efficacy (p = .001). Although generalizability of findings is limited, the structure and methods used in tailoring this DSME program could be transferable to other faith-based settings.
