  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Approximately 3811 patients with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes are expected to be recruited. Patients will be asked to complete 2 self-assessment questionnaires, one retrospective and one prospective, to characterize severe hypoglycaemias during the last 12 months (retrospective questionnaire) and severe/non-severe hypoglycaemias during the coming month after inclusion (prospective questionnaire).

Who may be able to join

  • Patients with Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
  • Patients treated by insulin for at least 12 months
  • Patients able to perform capillary self-monitoring plasma glucose (SMPG) measurements
  • Patients able to complete the questionnaires

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of insulin-treated patients experiencing at least one hypoglycaemia (severe/non-severe)

    Measured: During the one-month follow-up after inclusion in study

Secondary outcomes (14)
  1. Percentage of insulin-treated patients experiencing at least one severe hypoglycaemia

    Measured: During the last 12 months before inclusion in study

  2. Percentage of insulin-treated patients experiencing at least one severe hypoglycaemia

    Measured: During the one-month follow-up after inclusion in study

  3. Percentage of insulin-treated patients experiencing at least one non-severe symptomatic hypoglycaemia

    Measured: During the one-month follow-up after inclusion in study

  4. Percentage of insulin-treated patients experiencing at least one asymptomatic hypoglycaemia

    Measured: During the one-month follow-up after inclusion in study

  5. Percentage of insulin-treated patients experiencing at least one hypoglycaemia (overall/severe/non-severe)

    Measured: During the one-month follow-up after inclusion in study

  6. Rate of episodes (event/patient/month) in insulin-treated patients of severe hypoglycaemia

    Measured: During the last 12 months before inclusion in study

  7. Rate of episodes (event/patient/month) in insulin-treated patients of severe hypoglycaemia

    Measured: During the one-month follow-up after inclusion in study

  8. Rate of episodes (event/patient/month) in insulin-treated patients of non-severe symptomatic hypoglycaemia episodes

    Measured: During the one-month follow-up after inclusion in study

  9. Rate of episodes (event/patient/month) in insulin-treated patients of asymptomatic hypoglycaemia episodes

    Measured: During the one-month follow-up after inclusion in study

  10. Overall/severe/non-severe hypoglycaemia episodes (event/patient/month)

    Measured: During the one-month follow-up after inclusion in study

  11. Extra diagnostic tests carried out (number of extra self-monitoring plasma glucose (SMPG) test following the episode)

    Measured: During the one-month follow-up after inclusion in study

  12. Additional consultations to a specialist and/or general practitioner (GP), visit to emergency department, hospitalizations, transportation and assistance of a care-giver

    Measured: During the one-month follow-up after inclusion in study

  13. Change in planned daily activities; sleep, food consumption, physical activities (sport), driving, social life

    Measured: During the one-month follow-up after inclusion in study

  14. Change in planned daily activities; work: effectiveness, missing hours or days for sick leave

    Measured: During the one-month follow-up after inclusion in study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetes and Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1, run by Novo Nordisk A/S 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 5 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 19 Jan 2017. 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?

Percentage of insulin-treated patients experiencing at least one hypoglycaemia (severe/non-severe) (time frame: During the one-month follow-up after inclusion in study). 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 NCT01628341, 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 19 Jan 2017.
