Summary

This trial tests whether adding a nurse-led telehealth education program to usual diabetes care improves blood sugar control, medication habits, and quality of life in adults with type 2 diabetes in Oman. About 160 participants will be randomly assigned to either receive weekly 20-30 minute telehealth sessions for 24 weeks or continue with usual care alone. Researchers will measure changes in HbA1c, a blood test reflecting average blood sugar over the past few months, along with questionnaires on medication attitudes and quality of life.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Telehealth educational intervention delivered by a trained nurse
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a practical way to improve blood sugar control and quality of life for people with type 2 diabetes, especially in regions where access to in-person care is limited.
What could go wrong
The trial is relatively small and tests a behavioral program, not a drug. Results may vary by individual, and the benefit might not be large enough to change standard care.
