Personalized Nurse-Led Follow-up to Prevent Type 2 Diabetes in Adults Randomized Study Comparing Standard Care Versus Additional Nurse Contact

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are studying type 2 diabetes T2DM, a common form of diabetes affecting many adults in France, often going undiagnosed for years due to its silent nature. This study aims to explore a different, more coordinated approach focused on prevention rather than treatment, given that lifestyle factors like diet and inactivity are major risks. The study addresses the high health and economic burden of diabetes, which affects millions and results in significant healthcare costs. The study compares standard care for type 2 diabetes with an additional personalized follow-up involving a dedicated study nurse who contacts participants every four months. Participants are randomized to either continue standard diabetes follow-up or receive this extra nurse support alongside their usual care. This behavioral intervention is designed to enhance prevention efforts through more frequent and personalized engagement. Participants will be involved in regular follow-ups for up to five years, during which their risk of developing diabetes is assessed using the FINDRISC score. The study will monitor participants health and lifestyle factors over time to evaluate the impact of the nurse-led intervention. Researchers will collect data on diabetes risk and study compliance while ensuring participant safety and confidentiality throughout the study duration.
