About this study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of a a real time teleassistance system in the clinical evolution of type 2 diabetic patients on self monitoring blood glucose in the Public National Primary Care System.

Read the detailed description

The UKPDS study in type 2 diabetes and the DCCT in type 1, showed that intensive blood glucose control and the following HBA1c decrease were associated with a decrease of diabetic complications. Introducing telecontrol elements in the real time follow up of the patients, should help to know continuously patient blood glucose profile and add if necessary immediately therapeutical variations, to maintain HbA1c levels as low as possible.

The study compares type 2 diabetes patients performing self monitoring of blood glucose, followed up by their family doctor in their primary care unit with the extra support of a real time teleassistance system with type 2 diabetes patients performing self monitoring of blood glucose, followed up by their family doctor in their primary care unit.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Telemedicine systemDevice

    Possibility of sending the SMBG values of the patients to a web page via phone mobile sms messages. The HCP had a password access to this web page to check the blood glucose values of the patients and if necessary send to them sms messages with recommendations.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Telemedicine system in people with Type 2 Diabetes and Telemedicine, run by Province of Malaga Health Department at 1 site in Spain.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Sep 2007. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Spain. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

HBA1c Glycosylated hemoglobin (time frame: one year for every patient). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00527254, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 10 Sep 2007.
