NCT ID NCT00258674
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This completed study tested two strategies to improve diabetes care in older adults: giving doctors regular feedback on their patients' diabetes control, and assigning a diabetes resource nurse to coordinate care. About 1,891 people aged 65 and older with diabetes and Medicare took part. The study measured changes in blood sugar, cholesterol, and blood pressure to see if these approaches helped more patients meet treatment goals.
