Summary

This completed study tested an AI-based system called X-Life that gives personalized lifestyle advice to adults with type 2 diabetes. The system uses glucose levels and wearable data to guide diet and activity. 124 participants were split into two groups: one using X-Life and the other receiving standard care. The main goal was to see if the AI system helped people spend more time in a healthy glucose range.
