Digital Twin Technology for Type 2 Diabetes
(TPT Trial)
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial aims to compare the effectiveness of a new approach, Twin Precision Treatment (TPT), against usual care for people with Type 2 Diabetes. TPT combines artificial intelligence with lifestyle coaching to help manage diabetes. Participants will be divided into two groups: one receiving TPT and the other continuing with standard diabetes care. This trial suits individuals who have had Type 2 Diabetes for 15 years or less, own a smartphone, and currently manage diabetes with medication. As an unphased trial, it offers a unique opportunity to explore innovative diabetes management strategies.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial information does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications. However, it mentions that participants should not have been on anti-obesity or weight loss medications in the past 3 months.
What prior data suggests that this digital twin technology is safe for Type 2 Diabetes patients?
Research has shown that the Twin Precision Treatment (TPT), which combines artificial intelligence and lifestyle coaching, has been well-received. A study by the Cleveland Clinic found that TPT improved health outcomes for people with type 2 diabetes. Importantly, these studies reported no major safety issues.
Earlier studies also examined health indicators like blood sugar levels and medication use. They found that TPT reduced the need for diabetes medications and maintained blood sugar control without significant side effects. This suggests the treatment is safe and manageable for patients.
Overall, the evidence indicates that TPT is a promising and safe option for people with type 2 diabetes.12345Why are researchers excited about this trial?
Researchers are excited about the Twin Precision Treatment for type 2 diabetes because it combines artificial intelligence with personalized lifestyle coaching. Unlike traditional treatments that often rely solely on medication management and standard lifestyle advice, this approach uses digital twin technology to create a customized model of a patient's metabolism. This allows for more precise adjustments in diet and activity, potentially leading to better blood sugar control and overall health outcomes. By harnessing the power of AI, Twin Precision Treatment offers a tailored intervention that could be more effective than one-size-fits-all methods.
What evidence suggests that the Twin Precision Treatment might be an effective treatment for Type 2 Diabetes?
Research has shown that the Twin Precision Treatment (TPT) can help manage Type 2 Diabetes. In this trial, some participants will receive TPT, which uses artificial intelligence and personalized lifestyle coaching. One study found that TPT helped over 70% of participants lower their blood sugar levels and reduce or stop their diabetes medications. Another study demonstrated that TPT was more effective than standard care in improving diabetes outcomes. These results suggest that TPT could be a promising option for better managing diabetes.12367
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
Adults aged 18-75 with Type 2 Diabetes, a BMI of ≥27, and an HbA1c level between ≥7.5% and <11%. Participants must have had diabetes for no more than 15 years, own a compatible smartphone, and may consent to optional liver evaluation. Excluded are those on weight loss drugs or with recent major surgery/trauma, poor liver/kidney function, recent severe heart issues or strokes, excessive alcohol intake, certain chronic conditions or medications.Inclusion Criteria
