All participants will also come to four major assessment visits, which include blood draws, a psychodiagnositic interview, a neuropsychological assessment, and self-completed questionnaires. All participants will receive a year’s worth of diabetes glucose monitoring supplies including: a glucometer, test strips, lancets, and control solution. Participants will also be given $25 for each major visit they complete.
