About this study

The study intends to audit the impact of optimal insulin injection technique on clinical parameters and self-care behaviour of insulin treated diabetes patients in a prospective manner with a follow-up of 6 months. The optimal injection technique is delivered through education via a multimodal tailored approach augmented with a digital 'tailorable' patient learning platform .

The study is conducted in multiple sites across Belgium. Diabetes patients with or without lipohypertrophy will be entered into the audit. The end points will include the impact on use of insulin, long term blood glucose control (HbA1c), hypoglycaemia, glucose variability, needle reuse, patient injection habits and clinician education, training and information inputs.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Insulin Use

    Change in Total Daily Dose of insulin for subjects at baseline and after 6 months; expressed as % and units/24 hrs

    Measured: up to 6 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Change in Glycemic Control

    Change in HbA1c for subjects at baseline and after 6 months; expressed as % and mmol/mol

    Measured: up to 6 months

  2. Incidence of Hypoglycemic Events

    Rate of hypoglycemic events requiring 3rd party assistance in 6 months prior to study start (baseline) and during the 6 months of the study

    Measured: up to 6 months

  3. Change in Needle Re-Use

    Rate of needle re-use by self-reporting at baseline and after 6 months

    Measured: up to 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing training in optimal insulin injection technique in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 and Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1, run by Becton, Dickinson and Company at 9 sites in Belgium.

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 5 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 3 Dec 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 sites in Belgium. 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: Sponsor decision). 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?

Change in Insulin Use (time frame: up to 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 3 Dec 2019.
