Registration Number

Brief Summary

Background In management of type 2 diabetes, autonomy supporting interventions may be a prerequisite to achieve 'real life' patient engagement and more long-term improvement. Preliminary evidence has previously shown that the autonomy supporting intervention, guided self-determination method might have effect on HbA1c and diabetes distress in people with type 1 diabetes. However, previous trials were all rated as high risk of bias and did not assess potential harm of the the intervention. Thus, in the current trial, the objective is to investigate the benefits and harms of guided self-determination interventions versus an attention control group intervention in adults with type 2 diabetes.

Methods/design The trial planned is a randomised, pragmatic, investigator-initiated, dual-centre, parallel group, clinical superiority trial of guided self-determination intervention versus an attention control group for people diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in outpatient clinics. The participants (n=224) will be recruited from the department of Endocrinology at a University hospital of Copenhagen, the Capital Region of Denmark and from Steno Diabetes Center Odense, University hospital in the Southern Region of Denmark. The experimental stepped-care intervention will consist of 3-5 analogue or digitally provided guided self-determination sessions lasting up to one hour with a guided self-determination facilitator. The attention control group will receive similar number of sessions lasting up to one hour with a communication trained healthcare professional provided face-to-face, digitally, or over telephone.This trial protocol is guided by the SPIRIT and CONSORT guidelines. Participants will be included if they have type 2 diabetes, \> 18 years old, and, are not pregnant. Participants will be assessed before randomisation, at 5- and 12-months follow-up. The primary follow-up timepoint will be 12-months follow-up. The primary outcome will be diabetes distress. Secondary outcomes will be quality of life, depressive symptoms, and adverse events not considered serious. Exploratory outcome will be glycated haemoglobin, motivation, and serious adverse events. Data will be collected using REDCap. The analyses will be performed using the statistical programme Stata version 16.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
diabetes distressThe Problem area in diabetes (PAID) will be measured at 12-months follow-up. A higher score on the scale (0-100) indicate higher diabetes distress

Assessed by the validated 20-item scale of diabetes-related distress burden, Problem Areas in Diabetes (PAID)

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
diabetes distressProblem areas in diabetes (PAID) will be measured at 5 months follow-up. A higher score on the scale (0-100) indicate higher diabetes distress

Assessed by the validated 20-item scale of diabetes-related distress burden, Problem Areas in Diabetes (PAID)

Generic Quality of life: SF-36SF-36 will be measured at baseline 12-months follow-up.

Generic quality of life assessed by SF-36 The SF-36 consists of eight scaled scores, which are the weighted sums of the questions in their section. Each scale is directly transformed into a 0-100 scale. The lower the score the more disability.

Adverse events not considered serious12-months follow-up

Assessed by the Negative Effects questionnaire (NEQ-20) at 12-months follow-up. A higher score (0-80) indicate more adverse events related to the intervention.

Depressive symptomsHospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS) will be measured at 12-months follow-up. A higher score on the scale (0-42) indicate higher anxiety and depression

Assessed by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS)
