A Nurse-Led Digital Coaching Program to Improve Blood Sugar Control in Adults With Type 2 Diabetes
ChronoCoach: A Nurse-Led Multidisciplinary Digital Intervention to Improve Glycemic Control and Self-Management Among Adults With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 4 Nov 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether ChronoCoach, a nurse-led multidisciplinary digital coaching program, improves blood sugar control and self-management in adults with type 2 diabetes attending primary health care diabetes services in Bahrain. The main question it aims to answer is: Does ChronoCoach plus usual care lower HbA1c more than usual care alone after 3 months? Researchers will also compare diabetes self-care, self-efficacy, family involvement, quality of life and satisfaction, and will explore feasibility and acceptability. Participants will be randomly assigned to ChronoCoach or usual care. ChronoCoach participants will use a smartphone app for 3 months to record blood glucose, medicines, symptoms, food and activity, and will receive structured coaching from a diabetes nurse with pharmacy, nutrition, exercise, psychological and physician input when needed. All participants continue usual care and complete HbA1c testing and questionnaires at baseline, 3 months and 6 months. Research hypothesis: * Participants allocated to ChronoCoach will have a greater reduction in HbA1c than participants receiving usual care, after adjusting for baseline HbA1c.
