Flash Glucose Measure System and Continuous Subcutaneous Insulin Infusion Therapy in Poorly Controlled Diabetes Type 1 Patients (FREESTYLE)

May 18, 2020 updated by: Joe Elie Salem, Groupe Hospitalier Pitie-Salpetriere

Combination of Flash Glucose Measure System and Continuous Subcutaneous Insulin Infusion Therapy in Patients With Type 1 Diabetes and Poor Glycemic Control Related to Very Few Self-blood Glucose Measurements

Patients with diabetes type 1 with poor glycemic control will be switched to insulin pump and FGM system (Flash Glucose Monitoring) during 6 months, correlated to the hypothesis that they could benefit from this intervention by being reengaged in diabetes self-management.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

This is a non-controlled proof of concept prospective pilot study in adults with type 1 diabetes, HbA1c >9% (75 mmol/mol), multi daily insulin injections ( MDI) and who perform less than 2 SMBG /day. Patients will be switched to insulin pump and started a FGM system (Free Style Libre®) during 6 months, hoping this intervention can reengage patients in self-management, reduce HbA1c without increasing the risk of ketoacidocetosis (DKA) and severe hypoglycemia (SH), and keep the DTSQ (Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire) and HFS (Hypoglycemia Fear Scale) at good levels.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in HbA1c ≥1%
Time Frame: 6 months
Blood samples at baseline and 6 months
6 months
Number of severe hypoglycemia episodes
Time Frame: 6 months
Number of severe hypoglycemia episodes, evaluated by flash glucose monitoring
6 months
Number of ketoacidosis episodes
Time Frame: 6 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Any positive change in DTSQ scale (ΔDTSQM6-DTSQM0>0) (Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire)
Time Frame: 6 months
Filling questionnaires at baseline and 6 months. DTSQ (Diabetes treatment questionnaire) includes 8 items, each score from 0 to 6 with a higher score indicating better outcome
6 months
Any positive change in HFS scale (Hypoglycemia Fear Scale)
Time Frame: 6 months
Filling questionnaires at baseline and 6 months. HFS (Hypoglycemia fear scale) assesses participant's fear of hypoglycemia both overall and separately for behavior (10 items) and worry (17 items), both items scoring from 1 to 5, with lower score indicating better outcome
6 months
Number of Hypoglycemia episodes
Time Frame: 6 months
Number of hypoglycemia episodes, evaluated by Flash glucose monitoring
6 months
Frequency of hypoglycemia episodes
Time Frame: 6 months
Frequency of hypoglycemia episodes, evaluated by Flash glucose monitoring
6 months
Frequency of severe hypoglycemia episodes
Time Frame: 6 months
Frequency of severe hypoglycemia episodes, evaluated by Flash glucose monitoring
6 months
Frequency of ketoacidosis episodes
Time Frame: 6 months
6 months
Any changes in Weight
Time Frame: 6 months
Weight measures at baseline 2 months and 6 months
6 months
