Tiny talk tweaks could transform diabetes care
NCT ID NCT07129915
First seen Nov 21, 2025
Summary
This study tests whether training doctors in 'linguistic nudging'—a gentle way to guide conversations—helps people with type 2 diabetes make better treatment decisions and stick to their care plans. 250 adults from one hospital in China will be randomly assigned to either receive this enhanced communication plus a medication-tracking app, or standard care. The goal is to see if this approach improves blood sugar control, self-management, and satisfaction with care over six months.
