About this study
Official title: Prospective Comparison of Connected Solution (Health2Sync) and Usual Care in Adult Participants With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Using Basal Insulin in Taiwan
The Connected Solution investigated in this study is the combination of the titration module "Insultrate" and a cell phone application (app) named Health2Sync (H2S) that synchronizes participants' self-monitoring blood glucose data and electronic health records to a platform overseen by their treating physicians. This study investigates if this Connected Solution helps to improve glycemic control more effectively than physician-recommended routine management (i.e., usual care) in participants with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM).
Read the detailed description
Study duration per participant will be up to 9 months, including a screening period of up to 3 months and a study intervention period of 24 weeks (± 14 days).
- Conditions
- Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
- Being tested
- Connected Solution with H2S app which connects with blood glucose meter (BGM)
- Medical subject headings
- Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Connected Solution with H2S app which connects with blood glucose meter (BGM) in people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, run by Sanofi at 14 sites in Taiwan.
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 7 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Jul 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 14 sites in Taiwan. 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 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?
Change from baseline in HbA1c at Week 24 (time frame: Baseline to Week 24). 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 NCT05684341, 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.
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 21 Jul 2026.
