About this study

Official title: The Evaluation of Laser Lancing Devices in Constructing Self-management Systems for Chronic Diseases in Adult Diabetes Patients

Self monitoring of blood glucose level is crucial in diabetes management, but currently available methods, lancet, have shown low compliance of self monitoring of blood glucose because of pain, keratinization of finger tip, secondary infection. The purpose of this study is evaluating laser lancing device which cause much less pain than lancet to increase compliance of blood sugar checking, and to establish self monitoring system for patients of chronic diseases.

The investigators recruit total of 80 type 2 diabetes patients who visit Korea University Medical center Guro and Ansan hospital. HbA1c level of subject is more than 6.5% and less than 8.5%, and their age is above 20 years and under 80 years. Subjects are randomly distributed in group A or B. Group A subjects use laser device to check blood glucose for 2 months, then take a month for wash out period. After wash out period, participants use lancet for following 2 months. Group B perform the process vice versa. The investigators evaluate the number of blood glucose measurement, HbA1c, diabetes distress scale, average pain score, average satisfaction score from each group.

Self monitoring of blood glucose level is crucial in diabetes management, so it is important to increase compliance of blood glucose checking. Lancet which is currently available methods have shown low compliance of self monitoring of blood glucose, since it causes pain, keratinization of finger tip, secondary infection. The purpose of this study is evaluating laser lancing device which cause much less pain than lancet to increase compliance of blood sugar checking, and to establish self monitoring system for patients of chronic diseases.

The investigators recruit total of 80 subjects who visit Korea University Medical center Guro and Ansan hospital. Study subject are type 2 diabetes whose glycated hemoglobin level is more than 6.5% and less than 8.5%, and whose age is more than 20 years and under 80 years. Subjects are randomly distributed in group A or B. Group A subjects use laser device to check blood glucose for 2 months, then take a month for wash out period. After wash out period, participants use lancet for following 2 months. Group B subjects use lancet first, then have a month for wash out period, after then, switch to laser device afterwards. During washout period, participants use usual glucose checking method which subjects had used. The investigators evaluate the number of blood glucose measurement, glycated hemoglobin, diabetes distress scale, average pain score, average satisfaction score from each group. Also the investigators compare blood glucose, liver function test, lipid level between values from one hand measured by lancet, and values from the other hand measured by laser lancing device.

What is being measured

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

  1. average number of checking blood glucose per week

    Study subject is going to be surveyed about 'average number of checking blood glucose per week' at 2 month after using lancet device, and 2 month after using laser lancing device (LMT-1000)

    Measured: two months after using the device

  2. glycated hemoglobin level

    Study subject is going to be checked glycated hemoglobin level at 2 month after using lancet device, and 2 month after using laser lancing device (LMT-1000). Data will be shown in percent (%).

    Measured: two months after using the device

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. average satisfaction score

    Study subject is going to be surveyed about 'average satisfaction score' at 2 month after using lancet device, and 2 month after using laser lancing device (LMT-1000)

    Measured: two months after using the device

  2. average pain scale

    Study subject is going to be surveyed about 'average pain scale' at 2 month after using lancet device, and 2 month after using laser lancing device (LMT-1000)

    Measured: two months after using the device

  3. Diabetes Distress Scale

    Study subject is going to be surveyed about 'Diabetes Distress Scale' at 2 month after using lancet device, and 2 month after using laser lancing device (LMT-1000)

    Measured: two months after using the device

  4. Diabetes Fear of Self-injecting

    Study subject is going to be surveyed about 'Diabetes Fear of Self injecting' at 2 month after using lancet device, and 2 month after using laser lancing device (LMT-1000)

    Measured: two months after using the device

  5. success rate of measurement of blood glucose by laser lancing device

    Study subject is going to be surveyed about 'success rate of measurement of blood glucose by laser lancing device' at 2 month after using lancet device, and 2 month after using laser lancing device (LMT-1000)

    Measured: two months after using the device

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing laser lancing device or lancet for blood glucose level measurement in people with Type 2 Diabetes, run by Korea University Guro Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 6 inclusion and 9 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Feb 2022. 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 South Korea. 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.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Min Jeong Park (+82-10-7271-3805, minjeong87@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

average number of checking blood glucose per week (time frame: two months after using the device). 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?
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?
