Study summary

Diabetes is a chronic condition that affects around 8% of the French population, and is associated with severe complications. Maintaining a constant blood glucose level of between 0.7 and 1.80 g/l is the day-to-day objective of diabetic patients.Insulin can be administered by injection via syringes or pens, or by insulin pumps and patients can perform self-monitoring of blood glucose.

All these actions can be the subject of therapeutic education, which involves a range of tools, including dedicated individual consultations carried out by state-qualified nurses.

The aim of the study is to evaluate the benefit of therapeutic education consultations conducted by nurses in addition to medical consultations, on the follow-up of diabetic patients, insulin pump carriers or treated with multiple injections, in terms of glycemic control, quality of life and medical complications. The objective of the study is to evaluate whether the therapeutic education consultations conducted by nurses can improve the care of the diabetic patient.

Interventions

  • OtherDiabetes Therapeutic Education conducted by nurses

    Individual consultations with the therapeutic education IDE, who will help the patient to achieve the therapeutic objectives set before the medical consultation. Once the objectives have been set, the IDE will set up individual workshops and subsequently assess the patient's learning and its impact on his or her care. These workshops can include equipment demonstrations and practical exercises, explanations of treatment adaptation protocols, and dietary or sexual advice.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Rate of glycated hemoglobin HBA1c

    Difference in HBA1c between baseline and 12 months (M12)

    Time frame: 12 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Evaluation of glycemic control over 18 months

    Evaluation via Freestyle free blood glucose sensor with free view software every 6 months, over the last month and the last 3 months prior to medical consultation: * % of time spent in target range (0.7 g/l ≤ blood glucose ≤ 1.8g/l) * % of time spent in hypoglycemia (blood glucose \<0.7 g/l, * % of time spent in hyperglycemia (blood glucose \> 1.8g/l) Recording of ketoacidosis episodes during patient attendance Recording of episodes of severe hypoglycemia requiring third-party assistance with the patient HBA1c monitoring every 3 months

    Time frame: 18 months

  2. Evaluation of patients' quality of life over 18 months

    Questionnaire assessing quality of life (Audit of Diabetes Dependent Quality of Life - 19 items: ADDQoL 19)

    Time frame: 18 months

  3. Evaluation of patients' satisfaction with diabetes treatment

    Questionnaire assessing satisfaction with diabetes treatment (Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaires: DTSQs)

    Time frame: 18 months

  4. Evaluation of long-term complications over 18 months

    Assessment of the development and evolution of diabetes-related complications: neuropathy, nephropathy, retinopathy, arteriopathy, erectile dysfunction, heart disease, hypertension, foot ulcers, amputations and cerebrovascular damage. Number of additional hospitalizations and urgent consultations for acute or chronic complications.

    Time frame: 18 months

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Aug 8, 2025, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
