Adherence
A personalized, human-centered, telephone-linked dietary decision support system improves nutrition knowledge, attitudes, practices, and patient satisfaction compared to standard paper-based diet records in patients with type 2 diabetes.
If you have diabetes, using a digital tool that sends you personalized feedback and reminders about your daily food intake can help you learn more about nutrition and feel more satisfied with your care compared to just writing down what you eat on paper. This system works by making it easy to log food and get advice, even if you only have a basic phone.
We anticipate that the intervention group will show significant changes in nutrition knowledge, attitudes, and practices; satisfaction with care; and overall diabetes management.
Why this rating
This is a study protocol; baseline data collection is complete but follow-up results are ongoing, so no efficacy data is yet available.
