About this study

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the Guardian Continuous Glucose Monitoring System in the home setting is more useful than frequent self blood glucose monitoring with a view to modifying patient's diet and exercise habits or improvement self disease control efforts and at last glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes

Read the detailed description

In diabetes management, compliance, disease awareness and empowerment of the patient play an important role and the immediate feedback on the effects of diet and exercise that the self monitoring blood glucose (SMBG) may provide, could enhance patient empowerment. Increased use of SMBG has been shown to be associated with improved medication compliance and better metabolic control by several studies. However, because of many factors, including pain and inconvenience, many diabetic patients do not accept frequent fingersticks for self blood glucose monitoring (SBGM) levels. In addition, the SBGM result gives the data for only a few seconds, without any information on glucose trends.

So we need new glucose monitoring method that could reflect glucose trends and glycemic excursion continuously because glucose monitoring still remains the cornerstone of evaluating the efficacy of therapy and motivating self disease control in subjects with diabetes.

Few studies have examined the effects of real time continuous glucose monitoring system targeting type 2 diabetes. So our goal is to determine whether the Guardian Continuous Glucose Monitoring System in the home setting is more useful than frequent self blood glucose monitoring with a view to modifying patient's diet and exercise habits or improvement self disease control efforts and at last glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Guardian RT and Education about the self monitoring blood glucose in people with Type 2 Diabetes, run by Korea University at 1 site in South Korea.

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 3 inclusion and 2 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 20 May 2008. 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 South Korea. 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, fasting blood glucose level, weight change, blood pressure in the morning, lipid profiles (time frame: basline, 12weeks later). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 20 May 2008.
