What is being measured

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

  1. Satisfaction of patient-determined hospital care at discharge in the two groups

    visual analogue scale 0-10

    Measured: at discharge from hospital; maximum Day 5

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Patient satisfaction concerning treatment for their diabetes

    Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire

    Measured: at discharge from hospital; maximum Day 5

  2. Patient quality of sleep

    Spiegel questionnaire

    Measured: at each day of hospitalization and discharge; maximum Day 5

  3. Satisfaction of nursing staff concerning care of patient

    visual analogue scale response to 5 quesions

    Measured: at end of study; maximum Day 5

  4. Time taken by nurse to measure circulating glucose level

    in minutes

    Measured: Daily over length of hospitalization until maximum Day 5

  5. Time necessary to achieve satisfactory equilibrium using insulin pump

    average daily glucose level < 1.50 g/l

    Measured: maximum Day 5

  6. Number of glucose readings above 2g/l and below 0.80g/l over the hospital stay

    Measured: maximum Day 5

  7. Number of hypoglycmic events with the corresponding glucose level

    Measured: maximum Day 5

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing FreeStyle Libre™ system and Finger prick in people with Insulin-Dependent Diabetes, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nīmes 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 11 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Jan 2018. 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 was stopped early (reason given: logistical difficulties). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Satisfaction of patient-determined hospital care at discharge in the two groups (time frame: at discharge from hospital; maximum Day 5). 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 26 Jan 2018.
