Type 2 Diabetes

University Hospital, Toulouse
Brief Summary

Severity of diabetes is related to the development of disabling and costly complications (12.9 billion euros in 2007). The French High Health Authority recommends a therapeutic education on lifestyle and dietary rules in first-line treatment of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Despite these recommendations, patients often have difficulties to implement dietary recommendations every day. The objective of EDUC@DOM is to help people with diabetes to improve lifestyle and equilibrium of glycaemia in order to avoid or delay chronic complications of diabetes. Our main goal is to assess effectiveness of our telemonitoring program in type 2 patients' care compared to a usual care of diabetes, on the glycaemia of the patients. It is expected that our program leads to a better monitoring of health status, a greater adherence to medical and non-medical prescriptions, an empowerment of the patient, and as a consequence, a more efficient health care consumption.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
To assess effectiveness of our telemonitoring program in Diabetes care, HbA1C assays will be compared between the two groups.The change of HbA1c between day 0, month 1,month 3, month 6, month 9 and month 12HbA1c will be measured at Day 0, month 1, month 3, month 6, month 9 and month 12
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Food inquiries will be given to patients to assess the improvement of eating habitsAt day 0 and month 24
Questionnaires will be given to patients to assess the physical activity practiceAt day 0 and month 24
Waist circumference will be measured to assess the body composition, BMI (Body Mass Index),At day 0 and month 24
The self-monitoring blood glucose books will be copied to assess mean of blood glycaemiaAt day 0, month 12 and month 24
For the telemonitoring arm, assessment of nutritional knowledge through rate of good choices playing games of Nutri-Kiosk softwareEverytime patients use the software from Day0 to month 24
For the telemonitoring arm, assessment of physical activity declared through Acti-Kiosk software and measures collected with the pedometer (number of steps, number of stairs climbed up)Every time patients use the software and the pedometer from day 0 to month 24
For the telemonitoring arm, acceptability and satisfaction of the telemonitoring system by the health professionals with the number and time of connectionsAt month 24
For the telemonitoring arm, acceptability and satisfaction of the telemonitoring system by the patients with the number and time of connections and a questionnaireAt month 24
A blood sample will be collected to assess lipid statusAt day 0 and month 24
Two questionnaires will be given to patients to assess quality of life of patientsAt day 0 and month 24
A cost-effectiveness ratio and a markov modelisation will be realized to assess the economic aspectsAt month 24
Assessment efficacy of our program by the measure of HbA1C willAt month 15, month 18, month 21 and month 24
For the telemonitoring arm, acceptability and satisfaction of the telemonitoring system by the health professionals with the number and time of connections leading to a medical decision (phone call or medical appointment) and a questionnaireAt month 24
Questionnaires will be given to patients to assess the improvement of nutritional knowledgeAt day 0 and month 24
For the telemonitoring arm, assessment of food behavior through meals registered with the Nutri-Educ softwareEverytime patients use the software from Day 0 to month 24
For the telemonitoring arm, measure of weight, fat rate and lean rate collected with the balanceEverytime patients use the balance from day 0 to month 24
For the telemonitoring arm, means of glycaemia collected with the self-monitoring blood glucose deviceEverytime patients use the blood glucose device from day 0 to month 24
