About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Telemedicine on Metabolic Control in the Care of Diabetes Mellitus Type 1 Patients in Multiple Doses of Insulin Treatment in Andalusian Community

To assess the effect of a 6-month telemedicine program (DiabeTIC) in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM1) and regular metabolic control (HbA1c <8%) in multi-dose insulin treatment (MDI) measured HbA1c vs. conventional medical care.

Read the detailed description

The substitution of face-to-face visits for telematics visits has a similar effect on glycemic control (measured by HbA1c) in patients with DM1 treated with multiple daily doses of insulin (MDI) and regular metabolic control (HbA1c <8 %). It even saves costs and consumption of health resources, and improves the quality of life and satisfaction of subjects with DM1

To evaluate the effect of a 6-month Diabetic platform on telemedicine in patients with DM1 and regular metabolic control (HbA1c <8%) on MDI treatment in the following parameters:

  1. Glycemic control: Mean glycemia, number of mild hypoglycemia / week, number of severe hypoglycemia / 6 months, number of hyperglycemia greater than 250mg / dl / week, number of episodes of ketosis / 6 months, number of episodes of ketoacidosis / 6meses , Number of hospital admissions due to glycemic decompensation / 6 months.
  2. Glycemic variability: Standard deviation, mean amplitude of glycemic excursions (MAGE).
  3. Fear of hypoglycemia: scale FH-15. D) Quality of life: Diabetes Quality of Life Questionnaire (DQoL). E) Stress: DDS questionnaire.
  4. Costs and consumption of health resources:

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Telemedicine group and Conventional group in people with Telemedicine, run by Sociedad Andaluza de Endocrinología, Diabetes y Nutrición at 1 site in Spain.

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 7 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 6 Nov 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Spain. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

HbA1c (time frame: 6 months). 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 NCT03332472, which also lists 16 linked publications.

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 6 Nov 2017.
