About this study

Official title: Assessment of ANAIS (Alimentación Normal Con Ajuste de InSulina), a Spanish Version of the DAFNE (Dose Adjustment for Normal Eating) Programme, in Patients With Type 1 Diabetes: a Randomised, Controlled, Parallel Trial

ANAIS is a therapeutic education programme for type 1 diabetes based on a flexible insulin regime adjusted to the patient's food intake. Participants are randomised in two groups, to attend the training course immediately (immediate ANAIS) or a year later (delayed ANAIS). The main outcome was HbA1c at one year.

Read the detailed description

ANAIS (Alimentación Normal con Ajuste de InSulina) is a Spanish version of the DAFNE programme, performed in patients with type 1 diabetes. ANAIS is a randomised, controlled, parallel trial.

ANAIS is a group-based, therapeutic education programme for type 1 diabetes based on a flexible insulin regime adjusted to the patient's food intake.

Participants with type 1 diabetes and an HbA1c between 7 and 10% were recruited from the outpatient clinics in a tertiary care center. They were randomised (opaque, sealed envelopes, 2:1 ratio) to attend the training course immediately (immediate ANAIS) or a year later (delayed ANAIS).

The main outcome was HbA1c at one year. Secondary outcomes included lipids, weight, hypoglycemic events, treatment satisfaction, quality of life and self-defined objectives.

What participants receive

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

  • Immediate ANAISBehavioural

    ANAIS is a structured therapeutic education programme aimed at providing the patients with the necessary skills to manage their diabetes independently and confidently. The programme particularly promotes dietary freedom, in an intensive insulin regime, by enabling effective carbohydrate counting and accurate prandial insulin dose adjustment and avoiding hypoglycaemia.

    ANAIS was organised as a five day (Monday to Friday), seven-hour, outpatient programme using principles of adult education, with explicit learning objectives, in a group setting.

What is being measured

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

  1. HbA1c

    Glycated hemoglobin

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Lipids

    Total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein cholesterol, high density lipoprotein and triglycerides (all are expressed in mg/dl)

    Measured: Baseline, 3, 6 and 12 month

  2. Weight

    weight

    Measured: Baseline, 3, 6 and 12 month

  3. Hypoglycemic events

    Number of hypoglycemic events

    Measured: Baseline, 3, 6 and 12 month

  4. Treatment satisfaction

    Degree of treatment satisfaction measured by the Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire (DTSQ). Minimum score 0 points, maximum score 36 points. Higher values represent a better outcome.

    Measured: Baseline, 3, 6 and 12 month

  5. Self-defined objectives

    Participants were asked to establish a maximum of 3 personal goals they wanted to achieve related to taking part in the programme

    Measured: Baseline, 3, 6 and 12 month

  6. The quality of life

    Degree of quality of life measured by Spanish version of Jacobson's Diabetes Quality of Life questionnaire (EsDQoL). Minimum score 43 points, maximum score 210 points. Higher values represent a worse outcome.

    Measured: Baseline, 3, 6 and 12 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Immediate ANAIS in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1, run by Rosa María Sánchez Hernández.

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 9 Oct 2018. 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?

HbA1c (time frame: 1 year). 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 9 Oct 2018.
