Use of a Bearable Continuous Interstitial Glucose Monitoring Device (GuardianR) During Teaching Sessions to Functional Insulin Therapy Concept in Patients Suffering From Type 1 Diabetes: Evaluation at 6 and 12 Months

An interventional study of GuardianR in Diabetes Complications, sponsored by Assistance Publique Hopitaux De Marseille. Completed at 1 site in France. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 70 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2014-08-28.

Study summary

The objective of the project is to evaluate advantages from the use of a bearable continuous interstitial glucose monitoring device (GuardianR) during educative sessions of diabetic patients dedicated to functional insulin therapy teaching. This concept of intensified treatment is based on testing and explanation of simplified decision making algorithms to adapt insulin dose to every true life conditions. As self monitoring of capillary glucose level is needed to validate those algorithms, we postulate that using a device able to permanently control interstitial glucose readable by both medical team and patient himself (during the session and the 5 following days after discharge) could significantly improve safety and efficiency of such educative session.

Read the detailed description

Two groups of 60 patients (experimental and control groups) will be followed and evaluated at 6 and 12 months. We do think that this new tool would facilitate education of patients and lead further to a better glycemic control.

    This arm will benefit from the nonstop measure of the subcutaneous glucose during the hospitalization and the week on returning to the place of residence,

    Device: GuardianR

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. The HbA1c, the witness of the quality of the metabolic balance, in 6 and 12 months. We shall compare the deltae of HbA1c between the period of inclusion and 6 and 12 months following the training course in the "fonctional" insulin therapy

    Time frame: glycemia
