New tool helps doctors and patients tackle obesity in diabetes
NCT ID NCT05198765
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a web-based tool called the BMI-CDS (Weight Loss Wizard) in 40 primary care clinics. The tool gives doctors and patients with type 2 diabetes and obesity personalized estimates of the benefits and risks of treatments like weight-loss surgery or medication. Over 10,000 adults are taking part to see if the tool leads to more referrals, prescriptions, and better weight loss over 18 months.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
BMI-CDS (Weight Loss Wizard) - a shared decision-support tool
What this could lead to
If successful, this tool could help more patients with diabetes and obesity get effective treatments like weight-loss surgery or medication, leading to better weight management.
What could go wrong
This is a behavioral intervention, not a drug or surgery, so its impact depends on how well doctors and patients use it. Results may vary across clinics and may not lead to long-term weight loss for everyone.
