Overview
Brief Summary
GlucoTab is an innovative workflow and decision support tool for standardised diabetes management by healthcare professionals which provides automated and personalised dosage recommendations for different insulin therapy regimens.
Detailed Description
GlucoTab has already been tested in several clinical trials in Austria and has consecutively obtained the CE-mark that is valid throughout European countries. The current study aims to further develop, implement and evaluate GlucoTab in different European pilot regions. For this reason, GlucoTab will be translated in different languages and tested in Sweden, Denmark, and Spain.

- •a documented history of type 2 diabetes prior to inclusion or new-onset hyperglycaemia which requires s.c. insulin therapy during hospital stay
- •admission to either surgical or internal medicine ward
- •an expected length of hospital stay for at least 48 hours after enrolment
Exclusion Criteria
- •type 1 diabetes mellitus
- •intravenous insulin therapy
- •hyperglycaemic episodes (ketoacidosis, hyperosmolar state) if they require intravenous insulin therapy
- •continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion
- •gestational diabetes or pregnancy

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Efficacy - mean percentage of blood glucose values in target range
Time Frame: ≥ 24 hours after start of therapy by using the GlucoTab system four times daily
Efficacy is assessed by measuring the mean percentage of blood glucose values in the target range 100 to 140 mg/dl (5.6 to 7.8 mmol/l)
Secondary Outcomes
- Usability - adherence to suggestions of the GlucoTab system(from enrollment to the end of treatment with a maximum of 21 days)
- Safety - number of hypoglycaemic events(from enrollment to the end of treatment with a maximum of 21 days)
- Efficacy - mean daily blood glucose(from enrollment to the end of treatment with a maximum of 21 days)
