About this study

Official title: Accuracy, Satisfaction and Usability of a Flash Glucose Monitoring System Among Children and Adolescents Attending a Diabetes Camp

The aim of this study was to assess accuracy, satisfaction and usability of the FGM among children and adolescents with T1DM. The primary outcome was to assess the accuracy of the FGM system. Secondary outcomes included satisfaction and usability of the device as well as assessment of sensor-related issues.

Read the detailed description

The aim of this study was to assess the accuracy, satisfaction and usability of a Flash Glucose Monitoring system (FGM) in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and attending a 1-week diabetes summer camp, supervised by a multidisciplinary team of health care providers. The camp comprised a structured daily routine with five fixed meals: breakfast, lunch, afternoon snack, dinner and evening snack. Capillary blood glucose (BG) values were measured in parallel with unmasked Flash Glucose measurements (FGM) using the FGM reader's built-in glucometer at breakfast, lunch and dinner. Additional measurements were taken before snacks, between the meals or overnight and BG was measured only in cases of low (<4.0 mmol/L) or high (>15.0 mmol/L) FGM values or when symptoms were discordant with sensor readings. Sensor-related issues were documented and a questionnaire assessing satisfaction and usability of the FGM was completed by patients and caregivers at study completion.

  • Flash Glucose MonitoringDevice

    The camp comprised a structured daily routine with five fixed meals: breakfast, lunch, afternoon snack, dinner and evening snack. Capillary blood glucose (BG) values were measured in parallel with unmasked Flash Glucose (FG) measurements using the FGM reader's built-in glucometer at breakfast, lunch and dinner. Additional measurements were taken before snacks, between the meals or overnight and BG was measured only in cases of low (<4.0 mmol/L) or high (>15.0 mmol/L) FG values or when symptoms were discordant with sensor readings. Sensor-related issues were documented and a questionnaire assessing satisfaction and usability of the FGM was completed by patients and caregivers at study completion.

What is being measured

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

  1. FGM accuracy

    Accuracy of FGM values versus reference blood glucose values (Consensus Error Grid (CEG) analysis and calculation of the Mean Absolute Relative Difference (MARD))

    Measured: through study completion, 1 week

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Participants satisfaction with the FGM system

    Participants satisfaction (Questionnaire,%)

    Measured: At last camp day

  2. Caregivers satisfaction with the FGM system

    Caregivers satisfaction (Questionnaire,%)

    Measured: At last camp day

  3. Sensor related-issues

    Sensor related-issues will be recorded

    Measured: Through study completion, 1 week

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus, run by University of Lausanne Hospitals.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 11 Dec 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

FGM accuracy (time frame: through study completion, 1 week). 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 11 Dec 2017.
