Can a chat with a nurse help control blood pressure and blood sugar?
NCT ID NCT07619677
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study in Colombia will test whether a nursing program that tailors education and counseling to each patient's needs can help people with high blood pressure or type 2 diabetes stick to their medications and achieve better disease control. About 100 to 200 adults already in risk management programs will be randomly assigned to either the personalized program or standard care, and followed for 6 months. The goal is to see if a larger study is possible.

- person-centered education and counseling
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could improve how patients manage their blood pressure and diabetes, leading to better health outcomes.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small pilot study testing feasibility, not effectiveness. The intervention may not improve adherence or control, and results may not apply to other settings.
