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.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could provide an effective, scalable way to help young adults with type 2 diabetes better manage their condition and reduce diabetes-related distress.

What could go wrong
