Plain-language summary

What this paper says

A plain-language read of the study's main message and where it applies.

Study focus

The ENERGISED trial evaluated a mobile health intervention aimed at increasing physical activity among individuals with prediabetes and type 2 diabetes.

Clinical relevance

This study highlights the potential of mobile health interventions to promote physical activity in individuals with prediabetes and type 2 diabetes. Understanding the barriers participants faced can help refine such interventions, making them more effective and accessible for those at risk of diabetes-related complications.

Keep in mind

The study design was non-randomized, limiting the ability to draw causal conclusions. Effectiveness of the intervention remains unclear due to the absence of quantitative effect sizes. Barriers to engagement may limit the generalizability of findings.
