Web-based Insulin Titration - An Efficacy Study

November 19, 2014 updated by: F Holleman, Academisch Medisch Centrum - Universiteit van Amsterdam (AMC-UvA)

Web-based Insulin Titration: Improving Diabetes Care in the Netherlands. An Efficacy Study.

The main objective of the study is to determine whether an intensive web-based titration system, called PANDIT (Patient Assisting Net-based Diabetes Insulin Titration), is effective in improving glycaemic control in patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 using a basal insulin, compared to standard care.
