NCT ID NCT07325838
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a 12-week digital program led by a nurse to help young adults (ages 18-45) with type 2 diabetes better manage their condition. Participants use a web or mobile app for education, goal-setting, and direct messaging with a nurse. The goal is to see if this approach improves blood sugar control, self-care habits, and reduces diabetes-related distress compared to standard care plus digital brochures.
