This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether a structured, integrated care program that combines nutrition counselling and lifestyle guidance can help older adults (65+) who have both diabetes and frailty. Frailty is a condition where the body's reserves weaken with age, making it harder to bounce back from stress or illness. The study compares this new comprehensive approach to standard outpatient diabetes care to see if it helps people stay healthier and more independent.
Older adults with diabetes often develop frailty—losing muscle strength and becoming weaker—which can lead to falls, hospitalizations, and loss of independence. While nutrition and lifestyle changes are recommended by medical guidelines, there isn't enough clinical evidence yet showing how effective these approaches are specifically for frail older adults with diabetes.
If you are in the intervention group, you will receive structured, integrated care that includes personalized nutrition counselling and lifestyle guidance tailored to your needs as an older adult with diabetes and frailty. If you are in the control group, you will continue with your regular outpatient diabetes care. Both groups will be monitored over time with follow-up visits and assessments to track changes in your health, strength, and blood sugar control.
