The aim of this study was to compare the effect of our newly developed online evidence-based patient information (EBPI) vs. standard patient information about subthreshold elevated blood glucose levels and primary prevention of diabetes on informed patient decision-making. EBPI significantly improved knowledge about elevated glucose levels, but also increased decisional conflict and critical attitudes to screening and treatment options. The intention to undergo metabolic screening decreased as a result.
