About this study

Official title: The Voice Decision Support Expert System in Basal-bolus Insulin Therapy of Diabetes Patients.

The purpose of this study to conduct the preliminary investigation on the efficacy and safety in terms of postprandial glucose value and the rates of hypoglycaemia when expert VoiceDiab system supports patient's decision on prandial insulin programming in insulin pump therapy.

Read the detailed description

In children with type 1 diabetes glucose deterioration occurred every day and night leading into low satisfaction with treatment. Unstable glycemic profile resulting in high glycemic variability depends on the adjustment of insulin dosing to the current needs of the organism. The calculation of prandial insulin dosing is a complex process which involves such factors as preprandial blood glucose level, the amount of food taken, the glycemic index of carbohydrates, the insulin/carbohydrate exchange ratio, the active insulin level following the previous bolus. Currently, in patients treated with continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) insulin pumps are equipped with bolus calculators which help to calculate prandial insulin dosing and thus contribute to improve post-prandial blood glucose levels.

The aim of the study was to determine whether the patient's support expert VoiceDiab system have stabilised diurnal glucose profile in children with type 1 diabetes treated with insulin pumps.

What participants receive

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

  • VoiceDiab expert systemDevice

    Also called patient's decision supporting system

    Decision support system VoiceDiab this is computer-based system constructed for mobile phone devices working on the server.

    Patients in experimental arm get the mobile phone application for 4 days. Glucose control will be done by two methods SMPG and CGM. Before every study's meal insulin dose with type of bolus will be indicate by VoiceDiab.

    Measured: 96 houres

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. AUC

    he Area Under The Curve (AUC) of postprandial glucose level over 240 minutes,

    Measured: 240 mintues after each study's meal

  2. PPGE- postprandial glucose excursion

    Postprandial Glucose Excursions (PPGE), defined as the change in glucose concentration from before the meal to Peak Postprandial Glucose (PPG),

    Measured: 96 houres

  3. hypoglycemia

    Hypoglycaemic episodes over time of observation measeured by CGM

    Measured: 96 houres

  4. LBGI

    Low Blood Glucose Index ( LBGI) - as a one of the glucose variability parameters

    Measured: 96 houres

  5. Glucose variability parameters

    SD total (SDT)- from all days, SD within days (SDw); SD between time points (SDhh:mm); High Blood Glucose Index (HBGI)

    Measured: 96 houres
