Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Flash glucose monitoring (FGM) is a newly introduced Glucose Monitoring system. The aim of the study is to assess the effect of FGM on glycemic control compared with standard blood glucose monitoring (SMBG) using a randomised controlled study design in adults with type 2 diabetes. Subjects will use unmasked FGM once a month or SMBG to monitor glucose level for 3 months. Patients in the SMBG group will wear masked FGM to collect glycaemic variability data for comparison to the intervention group of the study. The primary outcome, HbA1c, will be cpmpared at baseline and 3 month. Glucose control parameters provided by unmasked and masked FGM will be compared in the two groups, including mean blood glucose (MBG), coefficient of variation (CV), area under the curve (AUC), Time in Range(TIR), etc.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. >18 years old;

  3. in stable condition prior to the study.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. pregnancy or attempting to conceive;
  2. known allergy to medical grade adhesive or isopropyl alcohol used to prepare the skin;

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: FGM group
Diabetic patients will use FreeStyle Libre Flash Glucose Monitoring (FGM) system(unmasked) to monitor glucose level once a month for 3 months.
Device: Freestyle Libre Flash Glucose Monitoring
Freestyle Libre Flash Glucose Monitoring will be used in diabetic patients once a month for therr months to monitor glucose level. Patients could scan the sensor to get the glucose level at any time as they want. They could alter thier diet and exercise according to the glucose levels. Patients will be required to keep track of food and exercise during wearing FGM sensor. Physicians would adjust patients' medication according their glucose profile provided by FGM, A1c, and diet and exercise every month.
No Intervention: SMBG group
Diabetic patients will use Standard Blood Glucose Monitoring (SMBG) to monitor glucose level for 3 months. A 14-day masked wear of FreeStyle Libre H Flash Glucose Monitoring system is included for these subjects once a month, to collect glycaemic variability data for comparison to the intervention group of the study.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
HbA1c
Time Frame: 3 months
Difference in HbA1c between intervention and control group at 3 month adjusting for baseline HbA1c
3 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
