Diabetes teleMonitoring of Patients in Insulin Therapy

The trial is an open-label randomized controlled trial. Patients with T2D on insulin therapy will be randomized to a telemonitoring group (intervention) and a usual care group (control). The telemonitoring group will use various devices at home. Hospital staff will monitor their data for a period of three months.

About this study

The DiaMonT trial is an open-label randomized controlled trial with a trial period of three months conducted. The trial will be conducted in two sites in Denmark: Steno Diabetes Center North Jutland and Steno Diabetes Center Zealand. Patients with T2D on insulin therapy will be randomized (1:1) to a telemonitoring group (intervention) or a usual care group (control). The telemonitoring group will use an insulin pen, an activity tracker, a CGM, and a smartphone application throughout the trial period. Hospital staff (lab technicians and nurses) will monitor the telemonitoring groups' data and contact the subjects by telephone repeatedly throughout the trial period. The usual care group will use a blinded CGM the first and last 20 days of the trial and will use a blinded insulin pen for the entire period. The usual care groups' data will not be monitored during the trial.

Treatment and study plan

Telemonitoring

Device

Telemonitoring of CGM and insulin pen data

Primary outcomes

  1. CGM time in range

    Time frame: At baseline to three months after randomization

    Change in CGM time in range (3,9-10,0 mmol/L)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Concentration of HbA1c

    Time frame: At baseline to three months after randomization

    Change in HbA1c

  2. Total daily units of insulin

    Time frame: At baseline to three months after randomization

    Change in total daily dose of insulin (units)

  3. Time below CGM range

    Time frame: At baseline to three months after randomization

    Change in time below range (CGM)

  4. Time above CGM range

    Time frame: At baseline to three months after randomization

    Change in time above range (CGM)

Other outcomes

  1. Number of CGM days worn

    Time frame: During the intervention

    Number of days that the subjects wear the CGM

  2. CGM percentage of time active

    Time frame: During the intervention

    Percentage of time that the CGM is active

  3. Mean glucose

    Time frame: At baseline to three months after randomization

    Mean glucose levels (mmol/l) measured by CGM

  4. Glycemic variability

    Time frame: At baseline to three months after randomization

    Glycemic variability - percentage of cofficient of variation

  5. Time in hyperglycemia

    Time frame: At baseline to three months after randomization

    Time in hyperglycemia (>13,9 mmol/L)

  6. Time in hypoglycemia

    Time frame: At baseline to three months after randomization

    Time in hypoglycemia (<3,0 mmol/L)

  7. Episodes of hyperglycemia

    Time frame: At baseline to three months after randomization

    Number of episodes of hyperglycemia (>13,9 mmol/L)

  8. Episodes of hypoglycemia

    Time frame: At baseline to three months after randomization

    Number of episodes in hypoglycemia

  9. Use of the telemonitoring equipment

    Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 3 months

    The frequency of use of the telemonitoring equipment

  10. Telemonitoring usability

    Time frame: Immediately after the intervention

    Telemonitoring satisfaction and usability measured by the Telemonitoring Usability Questionnaire (TUQ). Minimum value =1, maximum value =7. A higher score = a better outcome

  11. Diabetes-related quality of life

    Time frame: From baseline to three months after randomization

    Diabetes-related quality of life measured by the DIDP Questionnaire. Ranges from "very negative" to "very positive"

  12. Health-related quality of life

    Time frame: From baseline to three months after randomization

    Health-related quality of life measured by the Short Form 12 (SF-12). Options are not numeric
