About this study
Official title: A Multi-centre Prospective Non-interventional Clinical Investigation Studying the Glycaemic Control in Patients With Type 1 Diabetes When Introducing a NovoPen® 6 for Treatment With Tresiba® (Insulin Degludec) & Fiasp® (Fast-acting Insulin Aspart) in a Real-world Setting
The purpose of this study is to collect information on how NovoPen® 6 works with Tresiba® \& Fiasp® for treatment of people with type 1 diabetes and see if the use of NovoPen® 6 can help participants achieve better blood sugar levels.
Participants will use Tresiba® \& Fiasp® in NovoPen® 6 as prescribed to participants by the study doctor.
Read more
NovoPen® 6 is a smart pen, which collects and stores the date and time of injections and number of units of insulin participants have taken.
NovoPen® 6 can transfer participants insulin dosing information to the mobile application, which participants use to see their continuous blood sugar level. This will allow participants to see their insulin doses along with continuous blood sugar level in the mobile application.
Participants will keep using their own continuous blood sugar monitoring device and the mobile application to see these data during the study.
The study will last for about 9-11 months. Participants will be asked to complete 2 questionnaires in this study. One questionnaire is about overall satisfaction of using a digital health solution and other is about quality of life. Participants will complete these questionnaires during their normally scheduled visit with the study doctor, on 2 separate occasions

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1, run by Novo Nordisk A/S at 26 sites in 4 countries.
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 8 inclusion and 4 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 31 Dec 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 26 sites in France, Sweden, Belgium, Denmark. 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. 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?
Change in time in range (3.9-10 mmol/L) (time frame: Baseline (Day -14 to Day 0) to End of Study (Day 280)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
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 31 Dec 2025.
