Study Overview

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the superiority of iBGstar as a component of the diabetes treatment vs. traditional blood glucose self-monitoring system for improving glycemic control after 6 months in young patients with type 1 diabetes. The study is intended also to demonstrate the superiority of iBGStar as a component of the diabetes treatment vs. usual blood glucose self-monitoring system for improving the compliance to self monitoring of blood glucose after 6 months.

Detailed Description

The planned study duration will be 20 months (5 quarters) with screening/enrollment of 7 months, followed by 2-3 weeks of a qualification phase, a 6 month experimental phase, plus a 6 month follow-up in the post-trial observational phase.

  • Age between 14-24 years
  • Any diabetes duration
  • Cared for by the diabetes center for at least 1 year
  • HbA1c ≥ 8%
  • Basal bolus treatment (any insulin)
  • Poor compliance with Self-Monitoring of Blood Glucose (less than 30% of the recommended Blood Glucose measurements recorded in the glucose meter in the two previous weeks, i.e. <16 Blood Glucose measurements in the last two weeks)

  • Patients with high likelihood of being unavailable for 6 and/or 12 months visits
  • Subject is the investigator, sub-investigator, research assistant, pharmacist, study coordinator, other study site staff or relative of study site staff thus considered directly involved in the conduct of the study
  • Current addition/abuse of alcohol or drugs
  • Severe visual or dexterity impairment
  • Patients with any mental condition rendering them unable to understand the nature, scope, and possible consequences of the study
  • Pregnant or breast-feeding women
  • Subjects unlikely or unable to comply with the Protocol requirements
