This clinical trial aims to find out if a digital behavioral program, delivered through the SIPPA digital therapeutics app, can help improve blood sugar control and lower the risk of liver fibrosis in adults with type 2 diabetes who are at low to moderate risk for liver disease.
Main Research Question:
Can adding the SIPPA behavioral program to standard diabetes care lower HbA1c (a marker of blood sugar control) more than standard care alone?
Study Design:
The study has two groups (called "arms") for comparison:
Arm 1: Control Group Subgroup 1.1: Participants receiving standard care without GLP-1 medication. Subgroup 1.2: Participants receiving standard care with GLP-1 medication.
Arm 2: Intervention Group Subgroup 2.1: Participants receiving standard care without GLP-1 medication, plus the SIPPA behavioral program.
Subgroup 2.2: Participants receiving standard care with GLP-1 medication, plus the SIPPA behavioral program.
Researchers will compare outcomes across the matched groups in each arm to evaluate the impact of the SIPPA program.
What Participants Will Do:
All participants will have lab tests at the start of the study, at 3 months, and at 6 months. These tests include:
* HbA1c (a measure of average blood sugar levels),
* Fib-4 score (used to estimate liver fibrosis risk), and
* Liver enzyme tests.
Participants in the intervention group (Arm 2) will also:
* Use the SIPPA app daily to complete behavioral modules, track blood sugar
* levels, and log health behaviors (like diet and activity).
* Have weekly check-ins with a health navigator to support progress and stay on track with their diabetes treatment plan.
