About this study

This randomized, parallel group study will determine whether the use of episodic, intensive glucose monitoring via the Accu-Chek 360 view blood glucose analysis system has a positive effect on overall glycemic control. Patients will be randomized into either the 'usual care' group, or the 'interventional group' supplemented with the Accu-Chek 360 view blood glucose analysis system. The effect of each treatment regimen on glycemic control will be assessed by measurement of change in baseline HbA1c values at 12 months. The anticipated time on study treatment is 1 year, and the target sample size is 504 individuals.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Active Control Group (ACG)OtherParticipants in the Active Control Group received enhanced standard of care (more frequent clinic visits, free blood glucose meters and strips and point-of-care Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) test) for management of their Type 2 diabetes.
Receives: Device: Accu-Chek Aviva Glucose Meter
Structured Testing Group (STG)ExperimentalParticipants in the Structured Testing Group in addition to enhanced standard of care for the treatment of their Type 2 diabetes used the ACCU-CHEK® 360° View blood glucose analysis system (Tool) to monitor glucose levels at least quarterly.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change From Baseline in Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) at Month 12

    Blood was collected at Baseline and Month 12 and analyzed at a central laboratory for HbA1c. Results were calculated using a Linear Mixed Model with study group, visit, group-by-visit interaction, baseline HbA1c, gender, age, and race as fixed effects; and site and subject as random effects. A negative change from Baseline indicated improvement.

    Measured: Baseline, Month 12

Secondary outcomes (7)

  1. Number of Visits With Diabetic Medication and/or Lifestyle Change Recommendations

    Treatment intensification was assessed at each clinic visit. The physician evaluated the patient and made recommendations of a change in two areas: changes in diabetic medication and/or changes in lifestyle (such as diet, exercise and education.)

    Measured: 12 Months

  2. Change From Baseline in Depression Severity (PHQ-8)

    The Patient Health Questionnaire-8 (PHQ-8) is an eight-item patient questionnaire to measure the severity of depression disorders over the previous 2 weeks. Each item is rated on a 4-point scale of: 0=not at all to 3=nearly every day. The total score for all items range from 0 (best) to 24 (worst). Results were calculated using a Linear Mixed Model with study group, visit, group-by-visit interaction, baseline PHQ-8, gender, age, and race as fixed effects; and site and subject as random effects. A negative change from Baseline indicated improvement.

    Measured: Baseline, Month 12

  3. Change From Baseline in the Diabetes Distress Scale (DDS)

    Participants rated their level of diabetes distress by answering 17 questions in in the following areas: Regimen-related Distress, Emotional Burden, Diabetes-related Interpersonal Distress and Physician-related Distress (PD) on a 6-point scale: 1=Not a problem to 6=A very serious problem. The Average Total score ranged from 1 (best) to 6 (worst). Results were calculated using a Linear Mixed Model with study group, visit, group-by-visit interaction, baseline DDS, gender, age, and race as fixed effects; and site and subject as random effects. A negative change from Baseline indicated improvement.

    Measured: Baseline, Month 12

  4. Change From Baseline in the World Health Organization (WHO-5) Well-being Index

    Participants used the WHO-5 to rate their well-being (feeling good and cheerful) for the past 2 weeks using a 6-point scale: 0=At no time to 5=All of the time for a total possible score of 0 (worst) to 100 (best). Results were calculated using a Linear Mixed Model with study group, visit, group-by-visit interaction, baseline WHO-5, gender, age, and race as fixed effects; and site and subject as random effects. A positive change from Baseline indicated improvement.

    Measured: Baseline, Month 12

  5. Change From Baseline in Confidence in Diabetes Self-Care (CIDS-2)

    Participants rated how confident they felt about managing each of 20 diabetes self-care tasks using the CIDS-2 questionnaire. Responses were given on a 5-point scale ranging from 1=not at all confident to 5=completely confident for a total possible score of 20 (worst) to 100 (best). Results were calculated using a Linear Mixed Model with study group, visit, group-by-visit interaction, baseline CIDS-2, gender, age, and race as fixed effects; and site and subject as random effects. A positive change from Baseline indicated improvement.

    Measured: Baseline, Month 12

  6. Mean Number of Subject Monitored Blood Glucose (SMBG) Tests Per Day

    SMBG data for all participants was collected by the glucose meter and were uploaded directly to a web server. The mean number of SMBG tests/day was calculated for the entire study period.

    Measured: 12 Months

  7. Glycemic Variability Pre and Post-Prandial Excursions at Each Meal

    Glycemic Variability was evaluated in the STG group for each 3-day set that corresponded to the days the subjects completed the tool before each post-baseline clinic visit. Some parameters used to estimate glycemic variability over the 3-day profile included mean and maximum post-prandial glucose excursions (differences between pre- and post-meal blood glucose levels), mean blood glucose and mean amplitude of glycemic excursion.

    The calculation used a Linear mixed model with visit, Month 1 value, gender, age and race (White and Non-White) as fixed effects; and site and subject as random effects.

    Measured: Month 1, Month 12

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Oct 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 29 sites in United States. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 21 Oct 2013). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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