NCT ID NCT07142512
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether adding communication counseling to a step-tracking program helps couples where one partner has type 2 diabetes walk more and improve blood sugar. About 200 couples will use Fitbits and get step goals. Half will also attend counseling sessions to improve teamwork. Researchers will compare step counts and A1C levels between groups.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
step prescription and communication counseling
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that partner support and communication training help people with type 2 diabetes become more active and improve blood sugar control.
What could go wrong
This is a behavioral study, not a drug trial, so results may be modest. The counseling may not work for all couples, and step count improvements might not translate to better health outcomes.
