NCT ID NCT02159417
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether it is possible to run diabetes education workshops for inmates at Paris' La Santé prison. 22 men with type 1 or type 2 diabetes took part in group classes covering diet, foot care, and medication. The main goal was simply to see if prisoners would attend at least two sessions, not to measure blood sugar changes.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- therapeutic education (diabetes self-management workshops)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that structured diabetes education is possible in prison settings, potentially improving care for incarcerated patients.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small feasibility study (22 participants) at a single prison, so results may not apply elsewhere. It does not test health outcomes directly.
