App aims to help diabetes patients protect kidneys through diet
NCT ID NCT07485075
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a smartphone app called StenoFood that gives dietary advice and self-monitoring tools to people with type 2 diabetes and early kidney disease. The goal is to see if the app helps them follow low-sodium and moderate-protein diet guidelines. About 104 participants will use the app for 6 months, and researchers will measure changes in salt and protein intake through urine tests.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- StenoFood App (digital patient education program with dietary guidance and self-monitoring tools)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this app could become a simple, scalable tool to help people with type 2 diabetes and kidney disease stick to recommended diets, potentially slowing kidney decline.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study (104 participants) focused on dietary adherence, not hard outcomes like kidney failure. The app may not improve health or be easy for everyone to use.
