Summary

This pilot study tested a word game-based workbook to help people with diabetes learn about managing their condition, focusing on diet and carbohydrate control. 25 participants used the workbook during clinic visits or at home, completing puzzles and goal-setting exercises. The study aimed to see if the workbook was easy to use and acceptable, and whether it could improve confidence and blood sugar control.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Diabetes self-management workbook with word games
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a fun, easy-to-use tool to help people with diabetes feel more confident managing their diet and blood sugar.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study with only 25 people, so results may not apply to everyone. The workbook only covers diet, not other aspects of diabetes care.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Healthy volunteers

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: Focus group inclusion: 1. Patients: adult with diabetes and patient at the Midtown Clinic 2. Caregivers: partner, or caregiver of a patient with diabetes 3. Providers: Physician Assistant (PA), Nurse Practitioner (NP), or MD who cares for patients with diabetes 4. Diabetes educators: diabetes educator Focus group exclusion: 1. Cannot speak/read English 2. Unwilling to participate in group discussion 3. Pregnancy Aim 2 inclusion criteria: 1. Having type 2 diabetes which is not insulin dependent since insulin management adds another level of diabetes self-management that would confound self-efficacy scores. 2. Having a hemoglobin a1c less than 10% based on their last 3 hemoglobin a1c readings within the 2 years before the recruitment phase of the study. The ADA recommends the initiation of insulin therapy for individuals with a hemoglobin a1c above 10%, therefore the study will focus on an intervention for diabetes before insulin is likely to be part of the management plan. 3. Not having any conditions that could interfere with the accuracy of a hemoglobin a1c result: anemia, hemoglobinopathy, end-stage renal disease, chronic liver disease. 4. The ability to read a passage set at a fifth-grade literacy, a score of at least 3 on the Mini-Cog test scale which would represent a lower likelihood of dementia, and the ability to drive to medical visits. 5. Subjects will represent a diversity of age, educational level, and socioeconomic status (will use type of medical insurance as a proxy) Aim 2 exclusion criteria: 1. Cannot speak/read English 2. Unwilling to return for a follow-up visit in 3 months 3. Pregnancy
