CKD Awareness, Referrals, Education, and Support Intervention for Early-Stage CKD

The goal of this pilot clinical trial is to learn if an intervention delivering education, motivational support, and social support can prevent worsening kidney disease in adults with diabetes and early-stage kidney disease. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Is this intervention feasible to deliver and acceptable to patients? 2. What is the impact of the intervention on patient motivation, self-efficacy, kidney disease knowledge, and use of support services referrals? The investigators will compare information collected about participants' response to this intervention with a group of similar patients who receive general diabetes information. Participants will meet virtually with a nurse approximately 1 week before a scheduled primary care provider visit and complete surveys over the phone three times in a period of three months.
