AI-guided app to help manage type 2 diabetes
Official title: Evaluation of the Therapeutic Efficacy and Safety of Artificial Intelligence-based Decision-making Technology in the Integrated Management of Diabetes Mellitus: a Longitudinal, Open-labeled, Randomized Controlled Trial
Run by The First Hospital of Jilin University · NCT06957093 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This project will try an AI-guided app that uses glucose and activity data to give adults with type 2 diabetes personalized medication, diet, and exercise suggestions to help lower blood sugar.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults aged 18–75 with type 2 diabetes for at least one year, HbA1c between 7.0% and 11%, BMI ≥18.5 kg/m2, and comfortable using a smartphone are the intended participants.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with type 1 or gestational diabetes, severe diabetic complications, significant liver or kidney disease, recent substance abuse, major psychiatric illness, or inability to use a smartphone are unlikely to benefit from or be eligible for this intervention.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
The trial randomizes adults with type 2 diabetes to an AI-supported telemedicine platform versus routine care. Participants in the AI arm will be trained to use a smartphone app connected by Bluetooth to a glucometer and an activity bracelet so data are automatically uploaded to a medical server. The platform analyzes glucose, activity, and lifestyle data every two weeks and provides automated feedback, reminders, and recommendations about medication, diet, and exercise. Clinical visits and lab tests including HbA1c are scheduled at baseline and every 12 weeks up to 48 weeks to compare glycemic outcomes between groups.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the AI platform could lower HbA1c and improve day-to-day glucose control by delivering timely, personalized self-management advice.
How similar studies have gone: Previous telemedicine and AI-assisted diabetes programs have shown modest HbA1c improvements in some randomized trials but results are variable and long-term benefits remain uncertain.
