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 teaching older adults about diabetes management through short videos and brain-training exercises on a smartphone app can help them control their blood sugar better and improve their thinking skills. The study involves three groups: one receiving standard diabetes care only, one receiving videos about diabetes, and one receiving both videos and daily brain-training exercises for 12 weeks. Researchers will measure how well participants manage their diabetes, how their thinking abilities change, and how their overall quality of life improves.
Older adults with type 2 diabetes often struggle with both managing their blood sugar and protecting their thinking skills as they age. This trial is designed to find out whether combining practical diabetes education with cognitive exercises delivered through a smartphone app could help address both of these challenges in a way that's easy for patients to use at home.
You will be randomly assigned to one of three groups. All participants receive standard diabetes education from their doctor. Depending on your group, you may also receive 12 short videos about diabetes topics sent to your phone over 12 weeks, and/or you may do 15–20 minutes of brain-training exercises daily on a mobile app. You will be assessed at the start, at 3 months, and at 6 months to measure your blood sugar control, thinking skills, mood, stress levels, and quality of life.
