Appropriation of the Connected Solution Freestyle Libre® in Adult Patients With Diabetes in the Context of Therapeutic Education (APPRO-FSL)

Following the proposal to self-monitor by the Freestyle Libre® (FSL) connected object, in diabetic patients in the context of therapeutic education, regarding the appropriation of FSL, what works, for which patients , in what specific contexts and by what mechanisms does it govern? A multicentric observational research will be conducted with mixed method design (follow-up using patient questionnaires) and semi-structured interviews of patients and caregivers.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort	Intervention / Treatment
Diabetic patients; Patients presenting type 1 or type 2 diabetes, eligible for the prescription of Freestyle Libre	Other: Follow-up questionnaires; The patient normally follows the education program as usual but research specific data is collected: Biological sampling at the start and end of the education program (glycated hemoglobin).; Retrieval of usage and glycemic balance data from the Libreview online platform (at one week, one month and three months of use); Iterative questionnaires allowing the study of factors of acceptance, appropriation and use (at the start of the study, at 4 weeks, at 12 weeks); Other: Interviews; Semi-structured interviews will be carried out during the visits, either face-to-face or remotely.
Caregivers; Caregiver caring for diabetic patients and practicing therapeutic education on a regular basis	Other: Follow-up questionnaires; The patient normally follows the education program as usual but research specific data is collected: Biological sampling at the start and end of the education program (glycated hemoglobin).; Retrieval of usage and glycemic balance data from the Libreview online platform (at one week, one month and three months of use); Iterative questionnaires allowing the study of factors of acceptance, appropriation and use (at the start of the study, at 4 weeks, at 12 weeks)
