What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Summary

This trial tests whether personalized education, guided by a risk assessment for six major diabetes complications, can improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes. Participants receive education focused on their highest predicted risk, such as kidney disease or stroke, along with standard care. The study measures changes in hemoglobin A1c over six months to see if this tailored approach helps prevent complications.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Precision diabetes education, a personalized education program based on individual risk assessment for diabetes complications
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a more effective way to prevent diabetes complications by tailoring education to each person's highest risk.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small study, and the outcome depends on how well participants follow the education. The benefit may be modest or not generalizable to all diabetes patients.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Adults aged 18 years or older with a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus and without established chronic diabetes complications. 2. Hemoglobin A1c between 7% and 9%. 3. Stable type and dosage of glucose-lowering medications during the preceding 6 months. 4. Ability to independently understand the study information and procedures and to make an informed decision regarding participation. 5. Willingness to provide written informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Clinically unstable conditions, including acute diabetes-related conditions such as diabetic ketoacidosis, hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state, severe hypoglycemia, acute infection, or acute organ injury. 2.
