Web-Based Follow-Up Using Cellular Phone in Type 1 Diabetic Patients Under Insulin Pump Therapy : The PumpNet Study

July 4, 2006 updated by: University Hospital, Grenoble

Surveillance Des données De l'Autosurveillance glycémique Via Internet Et Le réseau téléphonique GSM Chez Le diabétique De Type 1 Sous Traitement Insulinique Par Pompe Externe : Etude Prospective randomisée PumpNet.

The purpose of this study is to determine if telecare using modern telecommunication devices can improve the metabolic control and the quality of life of type 1 diabetic patients.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

We aim at comparing conventional follow-up of type 1 diabetic patients treated with continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) (face-to-face visits) with an intensive coaching using the Web and the cellular phone network for data transmission and Short Message Service (SMS). This telecommunication device is called GlucoNet. The specific objectives are to measure the efficiency of GlucoNet in improving metabolic control, reducing health care costs and improving the quality of life of patients.
