Summary

This study tests whether a structured storytelling education program can help adults with type 2 diabetes improve their blood sugar control. About 226 participants will either receive standard care or standard care plus two face-to-face storytelling sessions and four brief phone calls over three months. The main goal is to see if the program lowers HbA1c levels, a key measure of blood sugar control.
