Read our Type 2 Diabetes research guide →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 smartphone app called FoodSwitch can help people with type 2 diabetes make healthier food choices when shopping for groceries. The app provides simple, easy-to-understand labels that show how healthy different foods are. Researchers want to see if using the app, along with standard dietary advice, helps improve blood sugar control and reduces heart disease risk better than dietary advice alone.
Many people with type 2 diabetes know that eating healthier foods helps control their blood sugar and reduces the risk of heart problems. However, most people don't have regular access to a dietitian for personalized guidance. This trial tests whether the treatment could bridge that gap by giving people a simple tool they can use right at the grocery store.

You will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group receives the FoodSwitch app plus standard written dietary advice, while the other group receives only the written advice. If you get the app, you would use it for 6 months when you shop for groceries—it simply shows you healthier alternatives to the foods you're considering. Researchers will measure your blood sugar control, weight, waist size, and quality of life at the beginning and after 6 months to see if the app helps.
