Diabetic Mellitus Patients Glucose Range Awareness After Experiencing a New Blood Glucose Meter Feature

September 12, 2016 updated by: LifeScan
A single visit & single arm study in 80 subjects with diabetes to determine if a short educational experience with a new blood glucose meter feature improves the ability of each subject to better classify glucose results into acceptable glucose ranges.

How is the study designed?

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Basic Science
  • Allocation: N/A
  • Interventional Model: Single Group Assignment
  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Education with new meter feature.
Subjects experience a computer stimulation of a new meter feature ( colour range indicator) to help subjects interpret whether blood glucose results are low, in-range or high based on accepted guidance.
Behavioral: Education with new meter feature.
The blood glucose meter has default settings for the colour range indicator which can be customized by the subjects and/or their healthcare professional. This colour range indicator will be presented to the subjects as a computer simulation to show subjects a range of typical blood glucose values and how this new feature would classify these results as being low (blue), in-range (green) or high (red).
