What this trial studies

This open, randomized, controlled trial aims to evaluate the effects of an integrative group program on metabolic control and the perception of wellbeing in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). The program includes six in-person sessions led by a health coach, occurring bi-weekly, along with six asynchronous educational sessions over a 12-week period. Participants will receive both the integrative program and conventional treatment for T2DM to assess the combined impact on their health outcomes.

Not a fit: Patients currently on insulin treatment or with a diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes for more than five years may not benefit from this program.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this program could enhance metabolic control and improve the overall wellbeing of patients with Type 2 Diabetes.

How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have shown positive outcomes with integrative approaches for managing Type 2 Diabetes, suggesting potential success for this program.
