About this study

Official title: From Episodic to Real-Time Care in Diabetes Self-Management

This study will use mobile health technologies to provide everyday data to help patients and their care providers better understand illness dynamics and develop adaptive approaches to improve health outcomes in diabetes. Specifically, the study will identify strategies to help patients adapt using multiple types of self-generated diabetes-related data and help providers guide patients to better self-manage in real-time, when guidance is needed most.

Read the detailed description

The investigators will conduct a mixed-methods exploratory designed study and recruit 60 adult patients (age ≥ 18) with type 2 diabetes who will track relevant clinical data over 6 months. Participants will be asked to use a wireless glucose monitor, a cellular body scale, and a wrist-worn accelerometer, and respond to short bi-weekly text message-based surveys on medication adherence for 6 months. Data generated from the devices will be plotted as trajectories that will allow us to conduct trajectory analyses and identify missing data points and trends leading to attrition, in order to assess the feasibility of having patients engage in this type of self-monitoring for 6 months. A subset of 20 patients will be interviewed via telephone at the end of their 6 month self-monitoring period to discuss their adaptive challenges and successes over the study period. The investigators will present the trajectories of their data during patient interviews using a visual that we will e-mail or postal mail, depending on patient preference. This will facilitate discussion of the challenges participants face in self-management and adaptive practices participants use. Following the 6 months of self-monitoring, we will conduct interviews with health care providers in which the investigators will present the data trajectories and explore ways to achieve continual communication and address real-time challenges with diabetes self-management.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Type 2 Diabetes Self-Management in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type II, run by Duke University at 1 site in United States.

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 7 inclusion and 3 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 2 Jul 2020. 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 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?

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?

Number of participants with type II diabetes who adhere to using mobile technologies to self-monitor multiple types of diabetes-related data (time frame: 6 months). 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 2 Jul 2020.
