Brief Summary

A multi-center, randomized, parallel, interventional, open label trial to compare Hemoglobin A1C-lowering effect of conventional treatment and Smart Care Service in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Detailed Description

1. Objectives : To evaluate superiority in the Hemoglobin A1C -lowering effect of Smart Care Service compared to the conventional treatment in patients with type 2 diabetes.

2. Test and control group

* Control group : The subject group who is receiving any conventional treatment (hospital visit).

* Test groups

* Conventional treatment + remote monitoring group: The subject group who is receiving the health care services using conventional treatment (hospital visit) and remote monitoring.

* Remote visit + remote monitoring group: The subject group who is receiving remote visit and remote monitoring using videotelephony

3. Target Subject: Type II diabetes patients

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Changes in Hemoglobin A1c0 and 24 weeks

Changes in Hemoglobin A1c from baseline to 24 weeks visit.

Reduce Hemoglobin A1c after study

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Changes in lipid profile0 and 24 weeks

Changes in lipid profile from baseline to 24 weeks visit

Maintains normal lipid profile

Medication complianceup to 24 weeks

* Patients diary will be recorded and medication compliance will be calculated by calculating the number of days administered Insulin or Oral Hypoglycemic Agents during the study

* Drugs compliance = the number of days administered antihypertensive drugs / participated period in this study \* 100%

Changes in FBS (Fasting blood sugar)0 and 24 weeks

Changes in FBS (Fasting blood sugar) from baseline to 24 weeks visit

Maintains FBS within the normal range

SMBG(Self-monitoring of blood glucose) complianceup to 24 weeks

measurement of Self-monitoring of blood glucose

Percentage of subjects who achieved goal Hemoglobin A1c0 and 24 weeks

Goal Hemoglobin A1c \<7%

Assessment of patients' satisfaction24 weeks

Assessment of subjects' satisfaction, Only remote monitoring group and remote visit + remote monitoring group are applicable
