What this trial means for you
This study is recruiting now at 2 US sites. It's studying GLP-1 Therapy for obesity type 2 diabetes mellitus, obesity (disorder).
What participants typically get: study medication (or placebo, if the trial uses one) and study-related medical care at no cost, plus close monitoring. Compensation for time and travel varies by study — ask the site. Note that in many trials you can't choose your treatment group, and some participants receive a placebo.
The study, in the sponsor's words
The DINE-GLP1 study aims to understand how people on GLP-1 therapy change their eating habits and what kind of dietary support they need. As more people use GLP-1 medications, there's not much guidance on what they should eat, mostly just focusing on managing symptoms and cutting calories. Since these medications reduce food intake, it's important to ensure the diet is nutritious even with fewer calories to help with long-term weight control and health. Most research has looked at how the body responds to the medication and whether patients take it as prescribed, but not much is known about what patients actually experience, what they think they need, or how they could use additional support. Understanding patients' views can help create better lasting solutions. Note that this study does not provide free GLP-1 medication.
