What this trial studies

This interventional study uses a CO-B model-based nutrition counselling approach to support dietary adherence in adults with cardiometabolic multimorbidity (T2DM and hypertension) in Northeast Ethiopia. It compares a structured nutrition counselling program against usual care to see if guided dietary support improves clinical outcomes and nutrition-related quality of life. The trial will measure changes in dietary adherence, metabolic and cardiovascular markers, and patient-reported quality of life over the intervention period. Conducted at Dessie Comprehensive Specialized Hospital with Bahir Dar University as lead sponsor, the study addresses a gap in context-specific nutrition care for multi-disease patients in this setting.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, participants may experience improved dietary adherence and better control of blood glucose and blood pressure, potentially reducing complications.

How similar studies have gone: Prior nutrition counselling has shown benefits in single-condition populations, but evidence in patients with multiple cardiometabolic diseases is limited and this study explores that gap.
