ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is exploring how listening to music can help people with Type 2 Diabetes manage their fear and pain related to self-injections. Many individuals with diabetes need to take insulin through injections, but fears and anxiety about the process can make it hard for them to stick to their treatment. The trial aims to see if music can make this experience less stressful and painful, helping patients feel more comfortable and confident when they need to take their insulin.

To participate in this study, you should be at least 18 years old and have been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes for at least a year. You must also be someone who injects insulin on your own and uses a glucometer (a device to check blood sugar levels) or an insulin pen/pump. Unfortunately, people with certain mental health conditions or those with Type 1 diabetes or gestational diabetes won't be eligible. If you join the trial, you can expect to listen to your favorite music while learning how to inject insulin, which may help reduce any pain or anxiety you feel. This could be an exciting opportunity to find a new way to manage your diabetes!
