About this study

The objective of the project is to evaluate advantages from the use of a bearable continuous interstitial glucose monitoring device (GuardianR) during educative sessions of diabetic patients dedicated to functional insulin therapy teaching. This concept of intensified treatment is based on testing and explanation of simplified decision making algorithms to adapt insulin dose to every true life conditions. As self monitoring of capillary glucose level is needed to validate those algorithms, we postulate that using a device able to permanently control interstitial glucose readable by both medical team and patient himself (during the session and the 5 following days after discharge) could significantly improve safety and efficiency of such educative session.

Read the detailed description

Two groups of 60 patients (experimental and control groups) will be followed and evaluated at 6 and 12 months. We do think that this new tool would facilitate education of patients and lead further to a better glycemic control.

What is being measured

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

  1. The HbA1c, the witness of the quality of the metabolic balance, in 6 and 12 months. We shall compare the deltae of HbA1c between the period of inclusion and 6 and 12 months following the training course in the "fonctional" insulin therapy

    Measured: glycemia

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing GuardianR in people with Diabetes Complications, run by Assistance Publique Hopitaux De Marseille at 1 site in France.

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 8 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 28 Aug 2014. 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 France. 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?

The HbA1c, the witness of the quality of the metabolic balance, in 6 and 12 months. We shall compare the deltae of HbA1c between the period of inclusion and 6 and 12 months following the training course in the "fonctional" insulin therapy (time frame: glycemia). 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 28 Aug 2014.
