EMR alerts aim to stop pre-diabetes turning into diabetes
NCT ID NCT07252700
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether adding reminders to electronic medical records helps doctors better manage pre-diabetes. About 6000 adults with pre-diabetes will take part. Some clinics will use the reminders, others won't. The goal is to see if the prompts lead to more blood tests, referrals, and medications, and ultimately prevent diabetes.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Electronic medical record prompts (clinical decision support)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could show a simple way to help doctors catch and manage pre-diabetes earlier, potentially preventing many cases of diabetes.
- What could go wrong
- This is a behavioral intervention, not a drug, so its impact may be small. The study is early and relies on doctors following prompts, which may not always happen.
