Summary
This study will test a new digital platform that combines traditional Chinese medicine with Western medicine to help people with type 2 diabetes manage their condition remotely. The platform includes a smartphone app, connected glucose monitors, and support from both TCM and Western medicine experts. Researchers aim to see if this approach improves blood sugar control and reduces complications over six months in 10,000 participants.
