ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is focused on improving the diagnosis and treatment of diabetic retinopathy (DR), a serious eye condition that can affect people with type 2 diabetes. The researchers aim to create a model that helps identify DR early by looking at clinical indicators (like blood sugar levels) and features from eye images, as well as analyzing certain substances in the blood (metabolomics). They plan to develop a system that can provide tailored care based on when diabetes started and whether patients have other complications. Additionally, the study will explore how cloud-based tools and continuous glucose monitoring can enhance the management of patients who need surgery for advanced DR.

To participate in this trial, individuals must be between 20 and 79 years old and have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes according to specific guidelines. They should also be mentally capable and willing to take part in the study by signing a consent form. However, those with type 1 diabetes, severe health issues, or who are pregnant or breastfeeding are not eligible. If you join this study, you’ll be part of a groundbreaking effort to improve care for people with diabetic retinopathy, helping to manage this condition more effectively.
