NCT ID NCT05553912
First seen Aug 06, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests a set of conversation cards, called QBSafe, designed to help people with type 2 diabetes talk with their doctors about what matters most in their daily lives. The goal is to see if these conversations can reduce the burden of living with diabetes and improve well-being, alongside standard blood sugar management. The study involves adults with type 2 diabetes and their clinicians, and will measure changes in quality of life and diabetes distress over six months.
