Summary

This study tests whether a structured, shared follow-up plan, developed together by patients and their family doctors, can improve self-management skills in people with type 2 diabetes. Participants in the intervention group will attend three monthly in-person or video sessions with their physician, focusing on education, blood sugar monitoring, foot checks, and lifestyle changes. A control group will receive standard phone call follow-ups. The study aims to see if this collaborative approach boosts self-management regardless of a patient's health literacy level.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
A structured shared follow-up plan combined with patient education
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could offer a practical, low-cost way to help people with type 2 diabetes better manage their condition in primary care, potentially improving long-term health outcomes.
What could go wrong
This is a small, non-randomized study, so results may not be generalizable. The intervention's success may depend on individual patient engagement and physician consistency, and the short 3-month follow-up may not capture lasting effects.
