NCT ID NCT07390292
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This observational study will look at how cognitive functions—like attention and mental flexibility—relate to balance, fear of falling, and quality of life in 80 adults with type 2 diabetes. Participants will complete thinking tests, balance assessments, and questionnaires. No treatment is given; the goal is to better understand these connections to guide future care.
