Can a dietitian beat the hospital for diabetes management?
NCT ID NCT07285330
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at two ways to help people with type 2 diabetes who have trouble controlling their blood sugar. One group gets care at a day hospital, while the other works closely with a dietitian-nutritionist. The goal is to see which approach lowers HbA1c (a key blood sugar measure) more after three months. About 140 adults on insulin will take part.
