New diabetes clinic model aims to help vulnerable patients control blood sugar
NCT ID NCT06015685
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Aug 20, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study tested a special diabetes clinic within a primary care setting for patients with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes. The clinic brought together doctors, diabetes educators, nurses, behavioral health providers, and social workers to offer comprehensive care, including continuous glucose monitoring. Researchers enrolled 65 patients and measured changes in blood sugar levels, weight, and how well the program worked. The goal was to see if this team-based approach could improve diabetes management and address social factors like food and housing insecurity.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- multidisciplinary diabetes management and continuous glucose monitoring
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this model could help vulnerable patients better manage their diabetes and reduce severe blood sugar complications.
- What could go wrong
- This was a small, completed study (65 participants) without a randomized control group, so results may not apply broadly. It focused on feasibility, not long-term outcomes.
