Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Treatment
  • Allocation: Randomized
  • Interventional Model: Crossover Assignment
  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: A
with injection-meal-interval,cross over after 3 month, than without injection-meal-interval for 3 month
Procedure: injection-meal-interval

The patient injects human insulin (as Actrapid from NovoNordisc) as usual in their insulin routine. The injection is subcutaneous and the dosage is dependent on the blood glucose monitoring. Patients will inject insulin previous every meal, with the following differences:

  1. Group A: with injection-meal-interval: 50 patients educated to inject the insulin with an injection-meal-interval of 15 minutes
  2. Group B: without injection-meal-interval: 50 patients educated to inject the insulin without injection-meal-interval

Cross-over will occur to the other group after 12 weeks. The follow up is 28 weeks.
