About this study

Official title: Impact of Innovative Technology on Geriatric Diabetic Patients: Evaluation of Quality of Life, Self Efficacy and Glycemic Control Among Patients With Experience of Continuous Glucose Monitoring

This study is designed to explore the effect of feedback counseling using professional continuous glucose monitoring on glycemic control, self-efficacy, and self-management behaviors among middle aged and older adults with poor controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus. This study also explores the difference on timing of feedback after continuous glucose monitoring exam.

Read the detailed description

After scheduled routine professional continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) exam, participants in both the intervention and control group receive ordinary education and regimen adjustment as indicated based on CGM results. For participants in the intervention group, they will also receive CGM counseling immediately on the day of CGM sensor removal. For participants in the control group, they will receive CGM counseling on the day of routine 3 months outpatient visit.

Qualitative data are collected through in-depth interview: User expectation, acceptability and satisfaction of CGM are also explored during in-depth interview with a semi-structured questionnaire.

Quantitative data were collected through validated questionnaires, including evaluation of depression by a short form of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale Revised (CES-D-R), emotional stress by Problem Areas in Diabetes Scale (PAID), self efficacy by Stanford Self-Efficacy for Diabetes (SES), at pretest and 3 months after CGM counseling.

Anthropometric Measurements. Body height, body weight, body mass index, and blood pressure were recorded at pre-test and post-test interview.

Blood Tests. Routine biochemistry, fasting plasma glucose, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) are collected within 2 weeks of pretest and posttest day.

What participants receive

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

  • feedback counselingBehavioural

    Professoinal CGM in combination with diet and exercise record is used as teaching material to help patient realize their blood glucose pattern and to modify their behavior after counseling feedback.

Study groups in NCT03792399
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Immediate feedback counselingExperimentalProfessional CGM calibrate blood glucose via a glucsoe-oxidase-impregnated membrane during a 5 day period. The patient wearing professional CGM is randomized to immediate feedback after data downloaded into computer.
Receives: Behavioral: feedback counseling
Delayed feedback counselingOtherProfessional CGM calibrate blood glucose via a glucsoe-oxidase-impregnated membrane during a 5 day period. The patient wearing professional CGM is randomized to delayed feedback (standard care, i.e., CGM graphs interpretation at scheduled 3 months outpatient visit).
Receives: Behavioral: feedback counseling

What is being measured

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

  1. Change of HbA1c

    Change of HbA1c in 3 months after CGM counseling.

    Measured: Baseline and 3 months after CGM counseling

  2. Change of score for self efficacy

    Change of Stanford Self-Efficacy for Diabetes Scale (SES) in 3 months after CGM counseling. The score for each item ranged from 1-10. The score of the scale is the mean of the eight items. Higher number indicated higher self-efficacy.

    Measured: Baseline and 3 months after CGM counseling

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Change of score for diabetes associated stress

    Change of score for Problem Areas in Diabetes Scale (PAID) in 3 months after CGM counseling. PAID is a 20-item self-reported questionnaire with scale 0-4 for each question, generating a total score of 0-100. A score of ≥ 40 is defined as emotional burnout.

    Measured: Baseline and 3 months after CGM counseling

  2. Change of score for depression

    Change of score for Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale Revised (CESD-R) in 3 months after CGM counseling. With 10-ietm CESD-R scale scoring 10 or more defined as having depression (range 0 to 30).

    Measured: Baseline and 3 months after CGM counseling

  3. Change in diet composition

    Change of carbohydrate amounts, fruits amount in 3 months after CGM counseling.

    Measured: Baseline and 3 months after CGM counseling

  4. Change in exercise amount, time spent in light activity

    Exercise amount recorded by acelerometers, built in sports bracelet (Fitbit Charge HRTM Wireless Heart Rate + Activity Wristband). Time spent in light activity per day in 3 months after CGM counseling feedback is compared with baseline.

    Measured: Baseline and 3 months after CGM counseling

  5. Change in exercise amount, time spent in moderate activity

    Exercise amount recorded by acelerometers, built in sports bracelet (Fitbit Charge HRTM Wireless Heart Rate + Activity Wristband). Time spent in moderate activity per day in 3 months after CGM counseling feedback is compared with baseline.

    Measured: Baseline and 3 months after CGM counseling

  6. Change in exercise amount, time spent in intense activity

    Exercise amount recorded by acelerometers, built in sports bracelet (Fitbit Charge HRTM Wireless Heart Rate + Activity Wristband). Time spent in intense activity per day in 3 months after CGM counseling feedback is compared with baseline.

    Measured: Baseline and 3 months after CGM counseling

  7. Change in exercise amount (time spent in sedentary behavior)

    Exercise amount recorded by acelerometers, built in sports bracelet (Fitbit Charge HRTM Wireless Heart Rate + Activity Wristband). Time spent in sedentary behavior in 3 months after CGM counseling feedback is compared with baseline.

    Measured: Baseline and 3 months after CGM counseling

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change of HbA1c (time frame: Baseline and 3 months after CGM counseling). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03792399, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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.
