Sponsor's own description
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if referral to a social worker (social prescribing) can help reduce loneliness and improve blood sugar control (A1C) in older adults with diabetes. It will also help us understand how this approach can support overall well-being in seniors. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does referral to a social worker reduce feelings of loneliness in older adults with diabetes? * Does this support improve blood sugar control (A1C)? Researchers will compare social worker referral to usual diabetes care to see if this approach improves both social well-being and diabetes outcomes. Participants will: * Be assigned (like flipping a coin) to either meet with a social worker or continue their usual care * Complete a short 3-question loneliness survey at the start and again after 6 months * Have their A1C levels reviewed from their routine medical records
