Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1This trial focuses on families making lifestyle changes together — is a family-based program like this a realistic fit for my situation, or would an individual-focused program be a better starting point for managing my type 2 diabetes?
2The trial measures weight change over 4 months, but what other health markers — like blood sugar control or blood pressure — should I be tracking alongside weight to know whether a lifestyle intervention is actually working for me?
3Since this study is listed as Phase NA, which typically means it's a behavioral or lifestyle study rather than a drug trial, can you help me understand what risks or commitments are still involved, and whether my current diabetes management plan should continue unchanged while I participate?
4The trial targets sedentary behavior and nutrition within families — how much time and household involvement would this realistically require, and do you think that level of commitment is manageable given everything else I'm dealing with right now?
5Are there standard diabetes care programs or proven lifestyle interventions already available to me that I should consider first, or do you think joining a research study like this one could offer something my current care doesn't?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
