Shared decisions for dementia and diabetes care
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a program that helps people with both memory problems (like dementia or mild cognitive impairment) and diabetes, along with their caregivers, make better care decisions together. It uses a special device to track blood sugar without fingersticks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
