ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how a nurse coaching program can help people with Type 2 diabetes improve their self-management and skin care habits. The main goal is to find out if the coaching program makes a difference in how patients take care of themselves and manage their diabetes. Participants will be randomly assigned to either receive the coaching or not, and their behaviors will be assessed before and after the program.

To be eligible for this study, you need to be between 18 and 65 years old, have been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes for at least six months, and have an A1c level (a measure of blood sugar) below 8 mmol/mL. You should also be able to manage your diabetes through healthy eating, physical activity, and regular blood sugar monitoring. Unfortunately, individuals with communication difficulties or those with Type 1 or gestational diabetes cannot participate. If you join the trial, you can expect support from a nurse who will guide you in improving your self-management skills and skin care practices.
