DigiDiab Pilot Spain - Nursing Home and Domiciliary Nursing Care

GlucoTab is a stand-alone software system to support healthcare professionals in the care of patients with diabetes mellitus or newly diagnosed hyperglycaemia who are treated with insulin and/or other glucose-lowering drugs or of patients only requiring glucose monitoring.

It provides a therapy algorithm for subcutaneous basal insulin therapy of patients with type 2 diabetes, which will be used in this study.

About this study

GlucoTab: The CE-marked medical device GlucoTab is a system designed to support healthcare personnel in managing insulin therapy for patients with diabetes.

In this study, only the GlucoTab algorithm supported basalinsulin therapy will be used, which is intended for patients with Type 2 diabetes in domiciliary nursing care and nursing homes requiring insulin therapy.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Elderly people, willing to be treated with a basal insulin therapy according to the GlucoTab system
  • Informed consent obtained after being advised of the nature of the study
  • Male or female aged ≥ 18 years
  • Type 2 diabetes (treated with insulin therapy)
  • Residents of participating nursing homes/domiciliary nursing care in the region of Camp de Tarragona (Spain).

Exclusion criteria

  • type 1 diabetes mellitus
  • intravenous insulin therapy
  • hyperglycaemic episodes (ketoacidosis, hyperosmolar state) if they require intravenous insulin therapy
  • continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion
  • gestational diabetes or pregnancy

  • any disease or condition which according to the investigator would interfere with the trial or the safety of the patient

Treatment and study plan

GlucoTab

Device

Insulin therapy will be started and adjusted according to the GlucoTab system with incorporated software algorithm. The goal of the basal-insulin algorithm is to maintain blood glucose within acceptable targets according to the predefined health status.

For a limited time period after therapy start, three measurements per day are suggested by the algorithm to determine blood glucose. Insulin dosage titration will be performed according to the algorithm in GlucoTab under supervision of the nurses of the nursing homes/domiciliary nursing care. Correctional bolus insulin will be administered at defined time-points according to BG targets in the predefined health status.

Nurses and nursing assistants will be trained in the use of the GlucoTab.

Primary outcomes

  1. Efficacy - mean percentage of fasting blood glucose in target range

    Time frame: ≥ 24 hours after start of the therapy by using the GlucoTab system

    Efficacy is assessed by evaluating the Mean percentage of Fasting Blood Glucose in the target range 80 - 180 mg/dl

Secondary outcomes

  1. Usability

    Time frame: at the end of the study, on average three months

    adherence to dose suggestions of the GlucoTab system

  2. Safety - number of hypoglycaemic events

    Time frame: at the end of the study, on average three months

    Safety is assessed by evaluating the number of hypoglycaemic events

  3. Efficacy - mean pre-breakfast blood glucose

    Time frame: at the end of the study, on average three months

    mean pre-breakfast blood glucose
